Ingredients
To create this flavorful reduction, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (adjust based on your taste)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Red Wine Vinegar Reduction:
- In a small saucepan, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and thyme. Stir the ingredients together to mix well before applying heat.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You want it to be bubbling softly, but not boiling vigorously!
- Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it has reduced by half. You will notice a thicker consistency starting to form.
- Once the reduction has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Strain the reduction through a fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove the garlic and thyme. This step will leave you with a smooth sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any other flavors as needed, perhaps adding more sugar for sweetness, depending on your preference.
Your Red Wine Vinegar Reduction is now ready to be served! Drizzle it over grilled steak for an elegant touch or use it as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables. This reduction not only enhances the flavor but also adds a wonderful depth that many will adore. Enjoy your culinary creation!
