Citrus Summer: 4 Ways to Cook with Lemon Crushed Olive Oil

Citrus Summer: 4 Ways to Cook with Lemon Crushed Olive Oil
Cool lemonade, a lemon Italian ice, ice cold lemon water: lemon is refreshing, and citrus is the flavor of summer. A quick zest of lemon peel can add subtle lemon flavor to most dishes. However, for a deeper, more mature lemon flavor there’s another (better) option. Lemon Crushed Olive Oil from Texas Hill Country Olive Company is made from freshly picked Texas-grown olives and ripe lemons. This flavor gives a zesty lemon touch to your cooking. Here are 4 easy ways to cook with our lemon crushed flavored olive oil.
  1.  A lemon-honey Dessert Sauce - Whisk our Lemon Crushed Olive Oil with honey to taste. Use a whisk to lightly drizzle over fresh fruit like watermelon, honeydew, or strawberries. For dessert, use the remainder over some fresh vanilla bean ice cream or custard. Warm on the stovetop or in the microwave first if you’re feeling adventurous.
  2.   Lemon Scones - Most scone recipes call for butter. Replace butter with ¾ of lemon crushed olive oil for every 1 cup butter.
  3.  Dipping Bread - Mix our Lemon Crushed Olive Oil with a traditional balsamic to transform that bakery bread into an Italian treat. Add any combination of the following spices to taste: basil, parsley, garlic, thyme, oregano, pepper, rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and a dash of parmesan cheese.
  4.  Lemon Chicken or Fish - Coat chicken breasts or fish fillets with Lemon Crushed Olive Oil and a dash of salt and pepper. Place in the oven at 400 degrees until juice runs clear (35-50 minutes). For a more advanced recipe, use white wine, cloves, and sprigs. Find the full recipe here.
Texas Hill Country Olive Company’s Lemon Crushed Olive Oil is one of our more versatile flavors.

Cooking a well-balanced meal for your family can take hours, multiple ingredients, and a variety of prep work. Yet, one family member simply gets some hard, pebble-like kibbles tossed in a bowl. Meal planning for this member is easy, same food different day. Dogs are part of the family, it’s time we treat them as such. Relying solely on kibble which can often be full of by-products and genetically modified fillers can leave a dog with deficiencies, allergies, and/or illness. Supplementing your dog’s diet with certain “people foods” can help keep him or her healthy.

Extend the Olive Branch: How Adding Olive Oil to Your Diet May Keep Your Body at Peace

In a world of processed, engineered, and genetically modified foods, reading and actually understanding the nutritional components of your diet seems like it could require a degree in chemistry. Healthy fruits like strawberries (for example) are now coated in chemicals to deter pests. They are then mass produced meaning they will yield less nutritional value than a strawberry grown 50 years ago. The cost of “going organic” may be too much for some consumers. However, it seems that there aren’t many foods left that are not linked to a terrible condition or disease. One oil’s headlines are quite the opposite. This oil doesn’t cause these health issues, in fact, it has been shown to prevent them. Here’s how olive oil is making peace with our bodies. The Mediterranean Diet: The basis of the Mediterranean diet acknowledges that not all fats are bad fats. Consistent to its name, the Mediterranean diet incorporates a cooking style similar to countries bordering the Mediterranean Se
