Rosemary Balsamic Reduction

luluesque_rosemary balsamic reduction

The recent rains have made my herbs quite happy—especially the rosemary bush. Rosemary and garlic are such a perfect combo, that immediately I thought the two would be great in some kind of balsamic vinegar sauce. I found this great recipe and modified it ever so slightly for my roasted root veggies.

  • 2 shallots ~ coarsely chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves ~ minced
  • 3/4 cup pomegranate balsamic vinegar
