Instructions
- PREPARE glaze by mixing balsamic vinegar, white wine, honey, Dijon mustard, rosemary and garlic in a heavy, small pan.
Heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce has been reduced to about 1⁄3 cup (10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool. Sauce will thicken as it cools. - HEAT about ¼ cup olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat.
