Homemade Balsamic Butter Sauce

AMAZING. That’s it. Just that one word describes heaven on this plate. Seriously, this sauce was fantastic. We tasted it and immediately knew that Bon Appetit had it right when they recommended drizzling the entire plate with the sauce.

I served the sauce over Sauteed Ono, Thyme Mashed Potatoes and steamed zucchini and it was wonderful. This was a delightful meal and it looked beautiful as well.

Balsamic vinegar is a very dark, concentrated and intensely flavored vinegar originating in Italy, made wholly or partially from freshly crushed grape juice with all the skins, seeds and stems. It can be reduced to a glaze and drizzled over strawberries, stirred into risotto, or tossed with Brussels sprouts or red onions to let its sugars caramelize in the oven. Now with balsamic, you can make the sauce or gravy for your meal to make it more delicious. It is simple and easy to cook that you can ready lunch or dinner anytime on the table.

Balsamic Butter Sauce

Ingredients 

  • ▢1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ▢1 garlic clove minced

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, over medium heat, simmer the vinegar and the garlic. Simmer until reduced to a thick syrup, about 5 minutes. Set aside while the rest of the meal is being finished.
  • When ready to serve the sauce, rewarm over  medium-low heat. Cut a stick of butter into 6-8 pieces and add to the balsamic reduction one piece at a time. Whisk until all butter is incorporated and sauce is smooth again. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Drizzle over plate right before serving.
