Here's a delicious and beautiful presentation of everyone's favourite anytime snack.
Zhug
Zhug is a fresh, bright Middle Eastern hot sauce akin to chimichurri, chermoula and salsa verde which also has an intense spicy kick. It's a great accompaniment for falafel, grilled veggies, fish, meat and eggs. It should last a few weeks in the fridge.
Tasty Fruity Snacks
Cut some orange, mandarin or tangerine segments into small chunks. Drizzle some of our Coconut or Honeybell Orange White Balsamic and let soak for ½ hr (good over night, too). Enjoy just like that or try as a topping on your favourite sorbet or ice cream.
Strawberries from Heaven
Slightly reduce our Chocolate di Torino Dark Balsamic over a low heat for no longer than 10 mins (constantly stirring). Let it cool just a bit so it thickens but is still warm. Drizzle this reduction over cleaned (and cut) strawberries and serve immediately - maybe with ice cream. (Works great with blueberries and raspberries, too.)
Espresso Ice Cream
Reduce (or not) our Espresso Dark Balsamic and drizzle over your favourite Vanilla Ice Cream (or Sorbet, or Yogurt).
Chipotle or Asian Kale Chips
Chipotle
Wash your Kale and dry very well. Break up into bite-sized pieces and spread on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Use an olive oil sprayers to mist our Chipotle Olive Oil evenly over all the leaf pieces. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 mins. You can shake the tray and will hear when they get crispy. Sprinkle with your favourite sea salt and serve immediately.
Asian
Wash and dry well your Kale. Break up into bite-sized pieces and spread on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Use an olive oil sprayers to mist a mixture of 2/3 of our Toasted Sesame Seed Oil and 1/3 Soya Sauce evenly over all the chips. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 mins. You can shake the tray and will hear when they get crispy.
Gourmet Corn on the Cob
Soak your corn in water all day or even over night in its husk. Do not peel! Place entire cob in husk on your BBQ at medium high for about 25-30 mins. Peel and spray or brush with your favourite Infused or Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Sprinkle your favourite sea salt all over and enjoy immediately.
Some of our favourite oils for corn on the cob: Savoury Butter, Sweet Butter, Chipotle, Aji Green Chili, Bacon, Cayenne, Harissa, Lime, Mesquite Smoked and Butternut Squash.
BBQ Roasted Root Vegetables
Yams, Beets, Carrots, Parsnips, Fennel, Radishes, Fennel, Onions etc in 1/4" slices and place in large bowl with whole garlic cloves. Coat them all with your favourite olive oil. We prefer one of our Robust Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oils or our Tuscan Herb Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Lay them on tin foil, folding up the edges to form a rim. Cover with rosemary branches as desired. Cover all with another layer of tin foil and crimp all around the edges to form a seal. BBQ at medium-low to medium, flipping once or twice, for about 15 mins. Plate, sprinkle with pepper and either our Black Truffle Sea Salt, Favuzzi Sel de Mer or Maldon Sea Salt and enjoy immediately.
Addictive Ice Cream
Drizzle your favourite olive oil liberally over the best Vanilla Bean Ice Cream you can find. Crunch a pinch or two of our Maldon Sea Salt on top to taste. Devour!
Some of our favourites are Savoury or Sweet Butter Olive Oil on vanilla ice cream. Chipotle Olive Oil on chocolate ice cream. Blood Orange, Lemon or Lime Olive Oils on matching flavoured sorbets or gelatos.
We also carry some Salt West flavoured sea salts that will bring your desserts to a whole other level.
