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.
 
 
 
CHOCOLATE BALSAMIC ROASTED CARROTS
1  Lbs Carrots
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup Verbena Tunisian Chemali Olive Oil
 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
1/2 Cup Verbena Milk Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 Cup Honey
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375°. On a large baking sheet, drizzle carrots with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss until combined and bake until carrots are tender, 38 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, make balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes (the mixture should coat the back of a spoon). Let cool slightly.
Drizzle carrots with balsamic glaze and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
 
 
 
 
CHOCOLATE BALSAMIC PORK TENDERLOIN
1 lb Pork Tenderloin
1/4 Cup Verbena Garlic Olive Oil                            
1/4 Cup Verbena Milk Chocolate Balsamic
3Tbsp Verbena Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
1 TBSP Finely Chopped Rosemary
1 tsp Black Pepper                                         
1/2 tsp Salt 
DIRECTIONS:
In a zip-top bag, place the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and pepper. Squeeze the bag to mix.
Place the pork tenderloin in the bag and place it in the refrigerator to marinate, from 30 minutes to overnight. Turn the bag occasionally.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat an oven-proof skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place it in the heated pan; discard the remaining marinade.
Sprinkle salt over the pork tenderloin and sear the pork for two minutes per side until nicely browned. Place the skillet into the oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees. 
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for five minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds and serve.
