How to Use Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic vinegar is delicious drizzled over salads, of course. But try it in cooked dishes, too. Balsamic vinegar holds onto its spicy kick, balancing the rich flavor of meat, poultry, and fish, and adding welcome acidity to vegetables. Some flavored balsamic vinegars are also great to add to fruit, cheesecake, poundcake, ice cream, yogurt, drinks, and more.

SAUTEED SQUASH WITH RED ONION
4 medium yellow or green squash
1 small red onion
2-3 tablespoons Verbena Tunisian Chemlali Olive Oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
1 tablespoons Verbena Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
Trim ends and cut squash in half lengthwise, then slice across into 1/4” slices
Cut onion in half then slice across
Place oil in sauté pan over medium heat.
Add onions and sauté until tender, 2-3 minutes.
Add squash, salt and pepper.
Sauté squash until tender, but still crisp - about 5 minutes.

*If it sits too long the squash will become mushy, so if making earlier, do not add the balsamic vinegar until ready to serve.
Red Apple White Balsamic Vinegar
The combination of pork and apples is timeless. Try apple glazed ham and vegetables for the upcoming holiday season, red apple balsamic pork bites, or tenderloin with maple and apple glaze, or over brie! For dressings, stay in the fruit family by matching it with 2 parts of Blood Orange Olive Oil, Meyer Lemon or Persian Lime. As a marinade or glaze, we think our herb oils pair amazingly well with Red Apple. Try Herbs de Provence, Rosemary or White Truffle. Chipotle or Chili or Tandoori olive oils create a complex, sweet/spicy/fruity marinade.
Pairs well with: Blood Orange Olive Oil, Meyer Lemon, Persian Lime, Herbs de Provence, Rosemary, White Truffle, Chipotle, Chili or Tandoori olive oil
