Do you have a lot of fresh basil in your garden this summer? Here is the perfect way to enjoy it-make a homemade batch of fresh Basil Pesto!
These meatballs make a delicious appetizer for the holidays, football parties or any occasion.
They are equally delicious added to your favorite marinara sauce, like the Secret Red Gravy Sauce made by Chef David Cook, available at all of The Spicy Olive locations!
A delicious vegetable side dish to complement any entree. Using a robust olive oil from The Spicy Olive with a high bio-phenol count adds heart health and anti inflammatory properties to your vegetable. The olive oil traps in the phyto- nutrients of the spinach and mushrooms and adds to them all the health benefits of the olive oil. It is a win-win for your body!
This pasta salad will be a delicious addition to your summer cookouts! The recipe calls for The Spicy Olive’s extra virgin and lemon juice for the dressing, but any of our flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars would work as well. Some suggested combos are: Tuscan Herb olive oil with Sicilian Lemon balsamic, Lemon olive oil with Neapolitan Herb balsamic or Garlic olive oil with Oregano white balsamic. Let your imagination and taste buds run wild with different delicious combos!
Marinated, grilled lamb chops are perfect for Easter or any special occasion. There are many combinations of The Spicy Olive’s balsamic vinegars and olive oils that work well here. Some ideas to try are:
Rosemary olive oil with Lavender balsamic
Tuscan Herb olive oil with Sicilian Lemon balsamic
Garlic olive oil with Oregano white balsamic
Single varietal olive oil with Neapolitan Herb balsamic
This recipe was prepared on The Fox 19 Morning Show and Living Dayton show in October and everyone loved it so I decided to add to the website! This is a remake of a recipe I used to make with cream of mushroom soup. This new version is healthier, more flavorful and easier to digest if you are sensitive to cream or dairy. Serve this with a brown and wild rice mix and add a Tablespoon of The Spicy Olive’s Wild Mushroom and Sage olive oil to add flavor to the rice mix.
This delicious flatbread pizza is a wonderful appetizer for football games, tailgates, and even for the upcoming holiday season! This recipe is easy to change, giving an easy flatbread template to use for all your entertaining.
Here are some additional ideas to try:
Pesto flatbread- Top the flatbread with our delicious Delizia Pesto (available at The Spicy Olive), spreading a thin layer of pesto across the flatbread. Add mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken and other veggies for a delicious treat.
Italian Flatbread- Spread a thin coating of The Spicy Olive’s Tuscan Herb olive oil over the flatbread. Top with sauteed mushrooms and onion , crumbled Italian sausage and pizza cheese blend for a flavorful appetizer.
I like to use a purchased Naan bread to use for the flatbread saving the step of making dough. You could also use store bought pizza crusts or dough and pita bread.
