I have a recipe that calls for 2 Tbl spoons of Balsamic flavored olive oil. (to brush on pork chops before grilling) Can I just use olive oil and balsamic vinegar? If so about how much?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Still use your 2 TBS of oil and then maybe a TBS or so of balsamic - it really doesn't matter in the big picture - you are just sauteeing in it. However much you would normally use to saute in will be fine.
How can there be such a thing as "balsamic-flavored olive oil?"
No problem - I understand!!!!
First, let me say that I have an olive oil bottle with a pourer on it. With that in mind this is what I do: To saute how many ever chicken breasts I would "normally" run the olive oil bottle around the pan a couple times and then tilt and swirl the olive oil to coat well. A "run" around a small pan will just use less olive oil. You'll get the hang of how much to use. You don't want the chicken swimming in the olive oil but you want enough so the chicken doesn't stick, either.
If you really need amounts I'd say for a small skillet a TBS should do the trick - for a larger pan, sauteing maybe 4 chicken breasts, you might be looking at 3 TBS or even 4 TBS (which is 1/4 cup) - just depending on the size of your skillet. You want to coat with olive oil, not create depth. I hope that explanation helps.

Thanks - and I had to delete your post - copyright issues - sorry. If anyone wants it though I can PM it to them.
It looks really good!
The olive oil comes in small bottles and it is trendy. Many herbs and the olive oil. Place a little flavlored oil and dip small pieces of bread and eat.
Oh sorry. But thanks for offering to share it.
kitchenelf, I am with you. I take EVOO and place herbs in it. I grow my own herbs...so I can make my own. Fun and delicious.
