Preparation Steps

Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens and reduces to about half its original volume, approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Infuse the Olive Oil
In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil over low heat. Add the fresh basil leaves and let them steep for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the oil to remove the basil.
