What a disappointment! Way too sweet. It was a NYT recipe and I chose it over another recipe that was being reviewed as being too acidic. It only has 4T of balsamic in it, 6 garlic cloves, herbs and chicken broth. I didn't use a cheap balsamic (perhaps not the most expensive either, but still). I salvaged it in reheating by adding a liberal squeeze of lemon juice. Is more expensive vinegar what I needed?
