Carmelizing veggies



I love, love carmelized onions! Usually, I'll just cook them in some veggie oil until they turn translucent brown, or when their natural sugars carmelize. I've never carmelized anything green like brussels sprouts though. I think it's because there's just not enough natural sugars in there to do what you can do with onions. In general, I'll usually just stir fry the veggies and enjoy their flavor. Sometimes, I'll add a commercial stir fry sauce made from mushrooms, or I'll add garlic or soy sauce. Today, I learned a new way to cook veggies. Carmelize them with balsamic vinegar! Yum!
