Recipe by Chef Scott Tompkins

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Serves 4-6

1 cup           Ottavio Platinum Balsamic Vinegar (available at most  HEB’s)
2 tbsp          Salted Butter
2 lbs             Fresh Brussels Sprouts *cut in half
½ cup           Golden raisins
¼ cup           Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp ea.      Kosher Salt & black pepper

1. Heat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl combine halved brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt and pepper.  Toss well to combine and place on a sheet pan and into the oven. Cook until just browned, about 30-45 min. (The darker the sprout, the more intense the flavor)
3. Combine the roasted brussel sprouts with the raisins and drizzle with Balsamic Caramel (Recipe below)
4. Balsamic Caramel: In a stainless steel saucepan (or non-reactive pot) reduce 1 cup of balsamic vinegar over low heat until liquid is reduced by half (takes about 20min over low-med heat).  Cut the heat and add in the butter and whisk until melted.  Let stand for about 5 min,  drizzle over anything.
