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.

Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Glazed Wings

Ingredients
4 pounds chicken “party” wings
2 tablespoons The Spicy Olive’s Garlic Olive Oil (or olive oil of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup The Spicy Olive’s Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions
Combine soy sauce, balsamic, pepper, olive oil and wings in a large, zip-top bag. Close bag and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and pat dry. Cook the wings on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is well browned and no longer pink, 25 to 30 minutes. Place the reserved marinade in a small sauce pot set over medium-low heat, and gently simmer until reduced by half, approximately 5 minutes. Place grilled wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with reduced balsamic marinade and toss to coat well.
