Recipe #2 - 5 Minute Drizzle Sauce

| Friday, January 2, 2009
Another day, another recipe.  I actually made this yesterday but I never said I'd post the recipes the same day I made them so get off my back.

This is another one from the "How to Cook Everything" book that I'm probably going to use for the majoriy of my recipes.  This is a series of sauces that are used for drizzling on vegetables, chicken, beef, whatever.  A good way to cook something the usual way and make a quick sauce to put on top to change things up.

I made the base version of this, and later on I'll try some of the variations.  I started with some 
olive oil, cooked some garlic in it for a couple of minutes, then added balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  I adjusted some of the seasonings at the end as the directions said.  I served it on broccoli and chicken to try both out.

Notes: It really did only take 5 minutes total, so this is definitely the type of thing you can do while chicken or vegetables are cooking.  It went well with both things I tried it with.  

Modifications: I'd like to try with onions instead of garlic, and I'd like to get the vinegar a bit more integrated with the oil in the future.

Make again?: Definitely, and will try a bunch of the variations.
