Easy Avocado Toast (EVOO)
/For a quick and satisfying snack, all you need is some good bread, ripe avocado and tomato, and EVOO!
Read MoreTangy Banana Split (Chocolate or Espresso Balsamic)
/Sometimes you need to add some sophistication to your banana split. Toss out the chocolate sauce and use a rich and tangy balsamic to satisfy this crave.
Read MoreHerb Pan-Grilled Pork Loin Medallions (Lavender Melange, Tarragon or Rosemary Olive Oil)
/Using flavored olive oils to pan grill chops adds tons of flavor. We love this recipe with Lavender olive oil, but it is also delicious with some of our favorite her olive oils like Rosemary or Tarragon.
Read MoreArugula Salad (Pear, Peach, Orange Guava or Strawberry Balsamic)
/This simple and light but elegant salad is a wonderful complement to a hearty meal.
We use the fresh fruit to complement our fruity white balsamic vinegar flavors. The light color of the balsamic is attractive on the salad and does not overpower the fresh fruit.
Read MorePre-biotic Salad (Raspberry Pear Balsamic & Basil Olive Oil)
/This salad is chock full of gut feeding goodies!
Bitter greens are on the top of the list for great pre-biotics. The problem with bitter greens is ... they are BITTER. So adding rich nuts, dried fruits and tossing in a warm raspberry basil dressing to slightly wilt the leaves will take care of that.
Read MoreQuinoa and Parsley Salad (Fig Balsamic & Tuscan Herb or Lemon Olive Oil)
/We have made a similar recipe with kale, but have recently fallen in love with the tangy flavor of Italian parsley and thanks to a great farmer friend who grows it organically and profusely, we can happily integrate it into more recipes.
Read MoreRoasted Fig Flatbread (Fig Balsamic & Tuscan Herb Olive Oil)
/Fig with figs, what could be better than that? Well, fig with figs and cheese of course.
This sweet and tangy flatbread is great as an appetizer or makes a meal along side a bowl of soup.
Marinated Jumbo Prawns with Reduction Sauce (Pineapple Balsamic)
/When you marinate shell fish in acid, the acid will start to cook the shell fish which is how ceviche is made. So in this recipe be careful not to over-cook the shrimp by marinating too long.
Since the marinade is full of flavorful yummies and picks up a bit of shrimp taste while “cooking” it, you can use your marinade to make a reduction sauce with rich delicious seafood flavor.
Read MoreSpring Caprese Appetizer/Salad (Pear, Mango, Strawberry or Orange Guava Balsamic)
/It's fun to change out the traditional components of a caprese appetizer to create something just a bit different.
This time we used golden beets in addition to tomato and swapped out arugula for fresh basil.
Street Taco with Fruit Salsa (Peach or Strawberry Balsamic)
/Sometimes fresh fruits can be hard to come by in the Winter. You can preserve some for special occasions by freezing. When defrosted they will be broken down, but they still have great flavor and can be used in sauces and salsas. When you combine them with a matching fruit balsamic vinegar, the fruit flavors pop even more and you get that tangy bite for contrast that vinegar can add.
In this sample, we used fresh peaches and peach balsamic vinegar to make peach salsa. Strawberries also freeze well and can be used for this recipe too with white strawberry balsamic vinegar.
In summer this recipe can be used with fresh fruit too!
Read MoreSummer & Winter Fruit Compote (Peach or Strawberry Balsamic)
/White balsamic adds that vinegar tang to fruit compote while adding its own fruity intensity making a delicious warm topping on ice cream, crusty bread and cheese, and braised pork or poultry.
Balsamic fruit compote can be made with frozen fruit in the Winter and fresh fruit in the Summer. My favorite all year fruits for this dish are strawberries and peaches.
The example here is using peaches over crusty bread and cheese. Substitute strawberries and white strawberry balsamic for the alternative.
Read MoreTwice Baked Winter Squash (Honey Ginger Balsamic)
/We love twice baking … potatoes, squashes, all of it. It bakes all of the flavors into a integrated soft delicious mass that is warm and homey and satisfying.
This product features a personal favorite seasonal product, Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. We also think of honey and ginger as natural cold strategy which is perfect for the cold weather months, so maybe it is a coincidence that it also is a delicious flavor combination with Fall and Winter foods like squashes and yams.
Read MoreChicken Tenders (Orange Pomegranate Balsamic)
/This recipe features a Fall/Winter seasonal balsamic, Orange Pomegranate. I love the Fall colors that come together in this recipe. The whole pomegranate seeds add this interesting crunchy tangy explosion to selective bites. The fork tender nature of the chicken is a plus as well.
Read MoreDirty (or Filthy) Martini (enfuso Martini Mix and Stuffed Olives)
/A "Dirty Martini" is a vodka or gin martini that is made with a splash of olive juice. Martinis were traditionally made only with gin, however there has been a shift towards vodka, so either are okay to use in this recipe.
Most of the time the “olive juice” that is used is whatever brine is in the jar when you purchase martini olives which are typically green olives, sometimes stuffed with pimento. However, there is a dirtier olive-ier option that enfuso uses for its unique product offering based on using real curing brine.
Read MoreSalmon with Olive Tapenade (Lemon Olive Oil & Stuffed Olives)
/Baked salmon with a flavorful olive tapenade style topping perfectly blends flavors of the land and the sea to make a heart healthy dish.
Read MoreZucchini Quiche (Tarragon Olive Oil)
/This recipe is full of zucchini and light on egg producing a fluffy but satisfying result. Tarragon is is known to pair well in tomato and egg dishes. It has both a bitter and sweet aspect to it with anise tones due to having essential oils that are in the same class as anise. It adds a distinctive flavor easily achieved by the use of our tarragon infused olive oil.
Read MoreOlive Oil Ice Cream Delight (Traditional Balsamic & Basil Olive Oil)
/We have tasted olive oil drizzled over ice cream; something we would never have imagined would make sense, and were very surprised and happy with the result. The olive oil adds unexpected richness that really works; it’s fat on fat, so of course it’s yummy. The first one we tasted used lemon olive oil which was delicious, so we were inspired to try herb olive oil based on recent trends to use herbs in desserts with great results. We selected a favorite herb - basil.
Read MoreSpicy Glazed BBQ Chicken Thighs (Espresso, Fig or Double Black Balsamic(
/
We have glazed our BBQ with espresso balsamic before, but a recent foodie trend suggesting adding spices to coffee convinced us to change it up using our WTF#!? Spicy Jalapeno Olive Oil. Whisking together balsamic with olive oil to make an emulsion is a great way to create a BBQ glaze that will not burn.
Read MoreBalsamic Berry Trifle (Dark Chocolate Balsamic & Blood Orange Olive Oil)
/Trifle is a classic dessert made by layering cake (like angle food or pound cake), sweet fruit in its own syrup, and whipped cream. It is commonly made in a tall glass so that you can see the layers for a visual effect.
Balsamic vinegar is a great tool for helping to pull the sweet syrup from fruit and with its bit of tang adds a balance to the other sweet parts of this dessert.
Bottom line, balsamic based trifle is beautiful, delicious and so easy to make.
