Fish:

Sauce:
|
Directions:
Start the sauce by heating Baklouti Olive Oil and Smoked Olive Oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions start to brown, about 5 minutes then add the garlic and stir for a bit longer.
Add the diced tomatoes along with the bay leaf, oregano, parsley, half of the olives, and half of the capers. Simmer briskly, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in 1/2 cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
While the sauce is simmering, dredge the fish fillets first in flour, then in the egg, and then back in the flour. Heat 1/3 cup of UP extra virgin olive oil in a very large (12-inch) non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, pan fry the fish for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely golden brown and a bit crisp on the exterior.
To finish the dish, ladle the finished sauce onto individual dinner plates, place a piece of cod in the center, garnish with the remaining olives, capers, parsley, and green onions. Serve immediately.

Shrimp Etouffee
|
Ingredients:
|
|
Directions:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add Baklouti or extra virgin olive oil of your choice. Add the flour, stir it to combine well, and then babysit it. Continuously stir the flour to make a roux - this can take up to 10 minutes and needs your constant attention lest the flour burn. Stir the roux over medium heat until it reaches a deep caramel brown color.
Add all the vegetables and garlic to the roux, and saute until the vegetables become soft, approximately 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato paste to the mixture and stir cooking for another minute. Add the bay leaves, thyme, and stock. Whisk constantly over medium until the mixture becomes smooth and begins to simmer. Turn down the heat to low, taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
Cook partially covered over low heat, keeping the pot at a simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for approximately 5 more minutes.
Serve immediately over steamed white rice with sliced green onions and more Baklouti for drizzling.
**Disclaimer - this recipe is designed to have a spicy kick. If you still want some of the taste of the Baklouti but desire something a bit more mild, go with 1/4 cup Baklouti and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil of your choice.
Serves 6-8 (with leftovers as the sauce gets even better the next day)

Chicken Mole w/ Baklouti & Dark Chocolate Balsamic
|
Ingredients:
|
|
Directions:
Heat 2 tablespoon oil in heavy large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Wash and pat the chicken dry. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to pot and sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Return chicken, any juices, and the bay leaf to the pot. Add the broth and bring to a simmer - cook covered until chicken is tender, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons Baklouti in heavy LARGE saucepan (cast iron is ideal for this) over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown - about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add almonds, pumpkin seeds, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Sauté until the nuts and seeds begin to toast lightly, about 2 minutes. Add dried cut chilies and stir until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
Add the caramelized onion and dried chili mixture to the pot with the chicken and stock. Add the chocolate balsamic and oregano to pot. Stir to incorporate and cover. Simmer gently until chilies are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot to a large bowl. It will be just about falling apart so don't work if you leave a few bits and pieces in the sauce. Working in small batches, transfer sauce mixture to blender and puree until smooth; return to reserved pot. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Coarsely shred chicken and return to sauce, gently stir to incorporate.
This recipe can be served immediately, but gets better with time, and can be made up to three days in advance.
Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
Serve over rice and/or with warm corn tortillas and a drizzle of Baklouti Agrumato for more heat. Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serves 6-8 generously (with leftovers)

Rock Cod Ceviche
The success of this ceviche is predicated on the quality and freshness of the fish, as well as the specific olive oil you use. Beyond being mindful about these two factors, this is an exceedingly easy dish to dazzle your seafood loving guests with.
|
Ingredients:
|
|
Directions:
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and sea salt. Whisk to combine. Add in the other ingredients including the fish and stir to combine well. Marinate covered in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Serve. The longer you allow this to sit, the more the fish will begin to "cook" in the acid of the lime juice and fall apart. Ideally, you want to mix this and serve it straight away. However, if you do let it sit, it will still be edible but the fish will break up.
Serves 6 as an appetizer

Directions:
Add the black beans, olive oil, salt, cumin, lime juice, water and cilantro to the blender. Blend until smooth (if you're using a blender, you may need to stop and stir a few times to help it out).

*The heat comes from the baklouti chili olive oil, so if you like it mild, replace with unflavored extra virgin olive oil or simply double the garlic olive oil used and omit baklouti.
Serve with tortilla chips or pita chips

Shrimp & Andouille Over Baklouti Chili Olive Oil - White Cheddar Grits
(Customer recipe)

Shrimp & Sausage Ingredients:

Ingredients for the Grits:
Ingredients for the Sauce:
|
Directions:
(Skip this step if using chicken broth or stock)
Peel the shrimp and reserve the shells. Heat 3 cups of water with shrimp shells in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, and then set aside to steep for 5 minutes. Strain the stock and reserve.
Mix together the garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, thyme, black pepper and then toss the shrimp in the spice mixture to coat.
Heat the Baklouti olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the cut up Andouille sausage and saute until just barely golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for another minute. Finally add the garlic and shrimp. Saute until the shrimp is just barely cooked though, another minute or two. Do not overcook!!! Remove the shrimp and sausage mixture and reserve.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of shrimp stock and heavy cream to a boil. Whisk in the grits and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and the grains are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese, Baklouti Olive Oil, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and whisk just until the cheese is melted. Cover and remove from the heat.
In the same pan that the shrimp and sausage was cooked in, add a tablespoon of Baklouti Olive Oil, over medium high heat add the flour to the olive oil and whisk until the roux becomes a medium-tan color, scraping up all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and stir in to the roux, cooking for another minute. Add the shrimp stock and cream to the pan, and whisk until the mixture is thickened, another minute or two. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the reserved shrimp and sausage mixture to the sauce and stir heating until warmed though. Do not overcook the shrimp!
Serve the shrimp and sauce over the hot grits with more Baklouti drizzled over the top, if desired.

Mix together the garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, thyme, black pepper and then toss the shrimp in the spice mixture to coat.
Heat the Baklouti olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the cut up Andouille sausage and saute until just barely golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for another minute. Finally add the garlic and shrimp. Saute until the shrimp is just barely cooked though, another minute or two. Do not overcook!!! Remove the shrimp and sausage mixture and reserve.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of shrimp stock and heavy cream to a boil. Whisk in the grits and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and the grains are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese, Baklouti Olive Oil, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and whisk just until the cheese is melted. Cover and remove from the heat.
In the same pan that the shrimp and sausage was cooked in, add a tablespoon of Baklouti Olive Oil, over medium high heat add the flour to the olive oil and whisk until the roux becomes a medium-tan color, scraping up all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and stir in to the roux, cooking for another minute. Add the shrimp stock and cream to the pan, and whisk until the mixture is thickened, another minute or two. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the reserved shrimp and sausage mixture to the sauce and stir heating until warmed though. Do not overcook the shrimp!
Serve the shrimp and sauce over the hot grits with more Baklouti drizzled over the top, if desired.
Serves 6
