Once you get to the third time of the balsamic make sure to scrape all the fond off the bottom of pan once this is done remove from heat. Slowly whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. This can be held in a warm place until ready to use. Right before you put the dressing on the plate add the basil, NOT any sooner for the basil will turn black.

Mexico: One Plate at a Time - Grilled Rack of Lamb with Honey Pasilla Glaze)

Serves 4

Roast the unpeeled garlic on one side of a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until soft and blackened in spots, about 15 minutes; cool and peel.  While the garlic is roasting, toast the chile pieces a few at a time on another side of the skillet, pressing them down firmly with a spatula for a few seconds, until they release a toasty aroma, then flipping them, and pressing down the other side.  Scoop the chiles into a small bowl, cover with hot water and soak 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the soaking water.
