Independence Day is Sunday and hopefully the weather will be perfect for grilling. Of course, any great grilling is done with a flavorful BBQ sauce. We have a recipe that adds heat and richness to your sauce.
Our Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar is an intense sweet-tart flavor. It adds depth to pan sauces, braised meats or compotes. Our naturally flavored balsamic is aged in the traditional Solera Method and comes from Modena, Italy.
To add an extra zap of flavor, we suggest using our Cayenne Olive Oil. This oil is made with whole cayenne peppers crushed with certified organic Tunisian olives. This fused oil is concentrated and has a delightful aroma. It is "hot-sweet" and flavorful with rich, ripe pepper notes like all ripened hot peppers and it's more floral and fruity. The lovely color is indicative of the abundant amount of whole, fresh peppers picked and crushed with the olives. If you're looking for heat in your BBQ sauce, look no further!

Ingredients
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and outer leaves removed
- 3 Tbsp. Black Truffle Oil
- 1 Tbsp. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, plus 1-2 Tbsp. for finishing
- 1 whole pomegranate or 1 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- Zanzibar Black Peppercorns
- Pure sea salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. In a large bowl toss the brussels sprouts, Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar.
- Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until tender, tossing the sprouts every 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile breakdown the whole pomegranate, if using. Cut off one end and make an "X" through the top, going about halfway down the fruit. In a medium bowl full of cool water, use your hands to break apart the seeds from the membrane. Remove the outer skins and swish to allow the white membranes to float to the top. Skim off with your hand then strain the seeds in a colander, swishing them to remove any other membranes.
