Chef Michael Schlow of Boston's Via Matta created this dish for Epicurious's Wine.Dine.Donate program. The sweet and tangy strawberries are delicious on their own, but for a more decadent dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar |
1 1/4 cups balsamic vinegar |
2 1/2 tablespoons honey |
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces and loosely packed |
10 cups strawberries, trimmed and halved (4 pounds whole berries) |
Directions:
1. In large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, vinegar, honey, and pepper. Add basil and strawberries; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 10 minutes and up to 1 1/2 hours. Serve chilled. |
