Savory Fig-Infused Gran BalsamicSavory Fig Balsamico is a local artisan specialty produced, aged and bottled on a single estate in the Italian province of Modena. The flavors of autumn figs infuse with the natural sweetness of gran balsamico, made from 100% Trebbiano grapes. The result is a magnificent and singular taste experience. Savory Fig Balsamico is aged in small chestnut barrels to create a glorious vinegar able to complement the flavors of countless ingredients. Luscious and rich, it is perfect for dressings, marinades and drizzling over grilled vegetables and steaks.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Lucini® Savory Fig Infused Gran Riserva Balsamic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, grated fine
  • 1/2 cup Lucini® Tuscan Basil Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together fig balsamic, garlic, salt and black pepper. Add garlic and lemon peel and stir.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil (VERY slowly at first) while whisking constantly to emulsify. If you have time, refrigerate until serving; this seems to make the flavor more consistent throughout the vinaigrette.
