Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb fresh small strawberries, hulled & halved
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Villa Manodori "Artigianale" Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 pint of Cipriani Vanilla Gelato
- 1/4 cup crushed pistachios
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, gently toss the halved strawberries with granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Let macerate for 5 minutes. Transfer the strawberry mixture to a baking sheet or shallow roasting pan. Roast for 12-15 minutes until strawberries are softened and their juices have become syrupy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Place 3 scoops of vanilla gelato into a chilled glass bowl or coupe. Spoon the warm roasted strawberries and their accumulated juices over and around the gelato.
Drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar and generously sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top. Serve immediately while the strawberries are still warm and the gelato is cold.
