Agrodolce is the Italian word describing food that is both tart and sweet. This recipe contains balsamic vinegar, which has both of these qualities. Additional tartness and saltiness come from red onion and capers, while additional sweetness comes from a squeeze of honey and the reduction of red wine and tomatoes. Other dishes with this flavor profile include some versions of Eggplant Caponata, Chicken Marbella, and, I'd argue, some BBQ sauces as well.
