Sicilian-Style Roasted Vegetables with Balsamic Syrup
"When Nancy Liguori doctors up recipes to make them healthful and delicious, she's got the credentials to back up her creations. After getting her MD in 2004, Nancy worked in the health care communications sector before enrolling in the Natural Gourmet Institute's part-time chef's training program. This recipe was an improvisation during her final culinary school class, which focused on Sicilian cooking. “We had extra green beans and red bell peppers, so I decided to roast them and treat them in the classically Sicilian agrodolce style by tossing the vegetables with orange and lemon juices and then drizzling them with reduced balsamic vinegar,” she explains...."
