I really enjoyed this dish. I found the balsamic and the late addition of the garlic gave the sauce the kick in the title. I think the amount of 'tang' would depend upon the balsamic used. Mine was well aged so was less tangy and added a touch of sweetness. This was easy to make and went well with garlic mash potatoes and simple steamed green beans. I've had left overs today for lunch and, just 'because' I stirred some sour cream through the sauce and it worked wonderfully well. So, it shows this is also a versatile sauce. Made for Aussie Swap #18. -
After following this recipe to the letter, we found it bland and definitely not creamy as described (not sure where any listed ingredient would create "cream" ) or "tangy" as stated in title" Definitely missing a siginificamt or notifble taste.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
