A healthy side dish with loads of flavor
Now that we’ve all pushed ourselves away from the Thanksgiving table, I’ve got a very tasty and easy (and healthy!) side dish for you.
We learned how to make this dish during our cooking lesson with Lorenzo in Abruzzo.
The only change I made was to add a bit of sugar to help bring out the flavors.
If the balsamic you use is on the sweet side, you may be able to skip this step. I used Progresso brand balsamic and the addition of the sugar to the dish was an improvement.
ENJOY!
