BALSAMIC CREAM SAUCE



Balsamic Cream Sauce image

The vinegar and cream go very well together. Best when sauteed chicken and asparagus is added to the mix. I use this sauce on pasta all the time.

Provided by LeeLee Hansen

Categories     Meat

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut New York strip steaks
3 heads garlic (an extra bulb for the mashers)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, diced
1 lb fresh brie cheese
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, minced

Steps:

  • Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  • You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary.
  • Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them.
  • In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally.
  • Season with olive oil and sea salt.
  • Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly.
  • Take out and set aside.
  • Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot.
  • Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach.
  • When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic.
  • You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out.
  • Mix together very well!
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point.
  • Set aside.
  • Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops.
  • Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing.
  • Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference.
  • I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream.
  • A little parsley to garnish.
  • For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar.
  • Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3.
  • Take out the rosemary.
  • To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh rosemary.
  • It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this.
  • I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal.
  • It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare.
  • You can even make the stuffing the night before.
  • Enjoy!
  • And long live garlic!

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 7h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/3 cup)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2/3 cup honey
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups sour pitted cherries, in light syrup,gently drained
3 drops almond flavoring (optional)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 teaspoons cold water

Steps:

  • For Ice Cream:.
  • Melt the 2 oz.
  • chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  • To the melted chips, add the heavy cream, buttermilk, honey and cocoa, stirring well to incorporate (the cocoa may not fully incorporate until mixture is more warmed).
  • The melted chocolate may"seize" (or clump up), but as the other ingredients heat, the chocolate will melt.
  • Increase heat to medium, and bring mixture to almost boiling, stirring frequently.
  • This may take 6-10 minutes or more.
  • You may notice small flecks of cocoa in the hot mixture; this is ok.
  • Turn heat down to low.
  • While the cream mixture is warming, with a hand mixer, cream together the egg yolks and sugar until lighter in colour, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • This will be a very thick, almost dry looking mixture.
  • Take about 1/4 cup of the hot cream mixture, and add to the egg mixture.
  • Mix until combined.
  • Slowly add the slightly warmed egg mixture into the cream mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the egg from being cooked too quickly.
  • Cook over low heat until slightly thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Mixture will still be liquid in appearance.
  • Chill this custard completely, either in the fridge overnight, or over an ice bath for about 30 minutes.
  • Make sure custard is cool.
  • Freeze in an ice-cream machine as recommended by your owner's manual.
  • (N. B. In my Cuisinart Ice cream machine, it to about 35- 38 minutes before ice crystals started to show. This is longer than recommended. Even then, it was still very thin.).
  • Put the soft ice cream in a container in the freezer.
  • For the first couple of hours, stir every hour to make sure the ice crystals are being distributed.
  • Freeze at least six hours or overnight.
  • This ice cream has a softer texture than some other home-made ice creams.
  • For the Sauce.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the honey and the 1/2 cup water.
  • Warm this mixture over medium heat until honey is dissolved.
  • Add the cherries.
  • Simmer for about 3 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low.
  • Add the almond flavouring and the balsamic vinegar.
  • Simmer for about 1 minute.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and the 3 teaspoons cold water together in a small dish/glass.
  • Stir into cherry mixture.
  • Simmer about 3-5 minute, or until slightly thickened.
  • (This is a thin sauce, you may thicken it up with more cornstarch/water slurry if you want) Serve over chocolate ice cream either warm or chilled.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS WITH BALSAMIC CREAM SAUCE



Chicken & Mushrooms with Balsamic Cream Sauce image

What a wonderfully flavorful chicken dish. Full of mushrooms, onions and garlic flavors with hints of thyme and balsamic vinegar. I think next time I will add spinach to this as well. Not only will it add nice color, but the spinach, garlic and balsamic go great together. The original recipe had this served with egg noodles,...

Provided by Wendy Rusch

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 oz favorite pasta, cooked to package directions
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" medallions
sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper and granulated garlic
2-3 Tbsp butter
8 oz mushrooms, button or baby portabellas, sliced
3 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp thyme, dried
2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2-2 c chicken stock
1-2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, do not substitute another kind of vinegar
3 Tbsp cream
2 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare your pasta, set aside. Heat olive oil in large skillet, sprinkle chicken medallions with salt, pepper and garlic. When oil is hot, add chicken cook 3-4 min and flip, cook another 3-4 min. Remove from pan, cover to keep warm and set aside.
  • 2. Add butter to chicken skillet, when melted and hot, add onions and mushrooms, saute until onions are translucent. Add garlic and thyme, season with more sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper, cook 2 more minutes then sprinkle flour over top of onion mixture, stir well and cook 2 more min. Slowly pour in 1 1/2 cup stock, stirring briskly to incorporate flour, use whisk if needed. If sauce seems right consistency with 1 1/2 c of stock then stop there, if you want it thinner, add remaining 1/2 cup. Add in balsamic and simmer until thickened. Add in cream, chicken and spinach, if desired. Stirring occasionally until spinach is wilted. Serve over pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Look for a good quality balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Reduce the balsamic vinegar: Reducing the balsamic vinegar will concentrate its flavor and make it more syrupy. This will help the sauce to stick to the food better.
  • Use a good quality whisk: A good quality whisk will help you to get a smooth and creamy sauce. Avoid using a fork or spoon, as these will not be able to mix the ingredients together properly.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and gloopy. Cook it just until it has reached the desired consistency.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to taste.

Conclusion:

Balsamic cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are using it as a salad dressing, a marinade, or a dipping sauce, balsamic cream sauce is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give balsamic cream sauce a try.
