- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2-4 tablespoons Fustini’s 18 Year balsamic
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions
- Cook flour tortillas, one at a time, in a large skillet or flat top, turning them over a few times until they are dry and stiff. Let cool to room temperature. Prepare a grill for direct and indirect grilling. Place the asparagus on the hot grill and cook for a few minutes. Remove from the grill and drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place two of the tortillas on the indirect side. Sprinkle some goat cheese over them and arrange several stalks of asparagus on top. Cook until the goat cheese is melted and the tortilla is hot - 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill, invert one tortilla onto another, cut into, wedges and serve with Tomato Jam and Cilantro Yogurt. If a grill is not accessible, place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake in a 350 degrees oven for 15-20 minutes until cheese melts and top is browned.
- Heat Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal EVOO in a medium-size pot over moderate heat and add the onion. Cook onion, stirring frequently, until soft - 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook one minute. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, and cook until thickened - 1 hour. Blend and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix all together and refrigerate until ready to use.
