That fig-balsamic infusion technique is genius. The way it transforms standard vinegar into something with real depth reminds me of why chicory works so well with assertive dressings, its biterness needs that kind of complexity to balance out. Tried a simillar approach with dried cherries in red wine vinegar once and the combo with radicchio was unreal. The 8-day patience threshold feels about right too.
