How do you make Sweet Basil sauce?
At my favorite Vietnamese Vegetarian restaurant they make this nummy Sweet Basil Sauce with Eggplant and Tofu. It is also used for their Sizzling Eel with Eggplant.
I bought some sweet basil sauce in a jar from Lyon Supermarket (primarily Asian foods) but it was mostly made of chili sauce and was way too spicy.
Suggestions?
Sweet and Spicy Basil Sauce
8 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
1/2 cup sugar
4 cloves garlic, 1 thinly sliced,3 chopped
3/4 cup diced plum tomatoes, seeded
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 teaspoons chili paste (like sambal oelek)
Bring 6 tbsp red wine vinegar and sugar to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Boil without stirring until mixture is deep red, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet brush (6 minutes).
Add thinly sliced garlic and cook until garlic is light brown, about 30 seconds.
Mis in tomatoes, basil, chili paste, pine nuts and remaining 2 tbsp of vinegar, simmer for 1 minute.
