Description
This honey balsamic glaze is glossy, bold, and just sweet enough to make roasted veggies shine. It takes a little patience on the stove, but once it thickens, you’ll be spooning it over everything.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 6 tbsp honey
- 3 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tsp mayonnaise
- 3 tsp lemon juice
- Kosher or regular salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add 1 cup vegetable broth, 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 6 tbsp honey, 3 tsp Dijon mustard, and 3 tsp lemon juice to a small saucepan.
- Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Set the saucepan over low heat and let the mixture simmer slowly.
- Stir every few minutes so the honey doesn’t stick.
- Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the glaze reduces by about half and looks shiny and slightly thickened. It should coat the back of a spoon without feeling heavy.
- Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk in 3 tsp mayonnaise until smooth. This step finishes the glaze and gives it a soft, velvety texture instead of an oily split.
- Taste and adjust with more salt, pepper, or a tiny splash of lemon juice if needed.
- Spoon the warm glaze over roasted or grilled vegetables and serve right away, or cool completely and store for later.
Note:
- Do not be tempted to overcook, as it will be way too thick. It should still be syrupy once cold.
