This recipe is adapted from “As Old As Time” Cookbook available at The Spicy Olive. We changed up the recipe a bit by adding chicken to make it a main dish instead of a side dish.

If you are vegetarian, leave the chicken out and add more of your favorite vegetables.

This dish is also delicious served cold and great to take to pot locks to share with friends!

The Spicy Olive’s Balsamic Burgers

June 12, 2019/in Balsamic Vinegar, Beef, Dinner, Meat lean ground beef, Mortar and Pestle Burger and Steak Blend, salt and pepper, The Spicy Olive's Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar Main Dish 0 stars /by spicyolive

Adding balsamic vinegar to burgers adds a mouth watering richness to the meat. Neapolitan Herb balsamic is my favorite addition to burgers, because it adds flavors similar to Worcestershire sauce. Other Spicy Olive balsamic vinegars that would be tasty added to hamburger are Traditional Aged 18 Year, Espresso, and Dark Chocolate.

The Spicy Olive’s Best Flank Steak

June 12, 2019/in Dinner, Marinades flank steak, Mortar and Pestle Burger and Steak Blend, The Spicy Olive's Espresso balsamic vinegar, The Spicy Olive's Olivewood Smoked olive oil Main Dish 0 stars /by spicyolive

This recipe is a delicious way to add flavor to a flank steak. You can also use a flat iron steak or a skirt steak. This marinade will add flavor to strip steaks or rib eye steaks too! Marinade overnight for full flavor or at least for 2 hours, and allow steak to come to room temperature before grilling, this releases the flavors into the meat. Flanks steaks are an affordable way to have steak for company!

2-4 Mahi Mahi filets

2-4 fresh pineapple rings

4 Tablespoons The Spicy Olive’s Persian Lime olive oil

2-4 Tabelspoons The Spicy Olive’s Coconut white balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon Mortar and Pestle Citrus Herb spice blend

Coat Mahi Mahi with 1-2 Tablespoons of the Persian Lime olive oil and sprinkle with

Citrus Herb seasoning and salt and pepper if desired.

Coat the pineapple rings with Persian Lime olive oil and a sprinkle of Coconut balsamic

and set aside.

Place 2 Tablespoons of Persian Lime olive oil in a frying or saute pan on the stove over

medium high heat. When hot, place Mahi Mahi in pan and cook on one side for 3

minutes and then turn and allow other side to cook for 3 minutes. Remove fish from pan

and cover and let rest. Place pineapple rings in pan. Cook on one side for 2 minutes

and then flip and cook other side. The balsamic vinegar on the pineapple will caramelize

and the pineapple rings should develop a golden brown color.

To serve, place Mahi Mahi on plate and top with golden pineapple ring. Drizzle with

Persian Lime olive oil and Coconut balsamic vinegar to finish. Delicious served with rice

and a salad.
