This dressing tastes as if it were made with expensive aged balsamic. The chocolate nicely mellows the acidity of the vinegar. It's wonderful on all sorts of salad greens or steamed vegetables. It's also great as a glaze on roast chicken.
Makes 1 cup of dressing
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 oz dark chocolate (63 % to 85% cocoa solids)
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Combine the vinegar and chocolate in a small saucepan, and heat over very low flame until the chocolate is melted and the vinegar reduced, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
