Kiwi Spinach Salad

Sweet, savory & tangy in 1 bite! Avocado, kiwi & spinach with crispy bacon, Swiss cheese & crunchy almonds. This will be your new seasonal favorite! 6-8 ample servings.

Simple Ingredients:

· ½ cup Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil + extra to taste.

· 2 tablespoons Villa Graziella Condimento Bianco Balsamico-White Balsamic Condiment

· 10 ounces fresh spinach washed and thoroughly dried.

· 3 medium fresh kiwi fruit peeled & thinly sliced.

· 1 medium fresh avocado peeled & sliced.

· 4 slices of bacon or prosciutto about 2 ½ ounces -Optional-

· 1-½ cup Swiss or Emmental cheese, diced.

· 1 tablespoon slivered almonds, pine nuts or chopped walnuts.

· 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

· ½ teaspoon sea salt

· 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Easy Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F.

2. Place bacon on a cookie or baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until crispy, do not overcook.

3. Transfer slices to a brown paper bag or paper towel lined plate to drain & cool.

4. Once cool, dice the bacon and set aside.

5. Layer the spinach, avocado & kiwi slices in a large bowl or serving platter.

6. Add the cheese & nuts to the bowl & set aside.

7. Combine the salt, pepper, lemon juice & white balsamic condiment in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until fully combined and an emulsion is created, set aside.

8. Add the bacon to the salad and toss.

9. Taste the dressing & adjust with seasonings and olive oil, toss into the salad.

10. Allow salad to rest for 5 minutes, serve & immediately enjoy!

Helpful Hints

· Why bake bacon instead of frying it? We tried this method for the first time, both the fat and the meat cook and crisp evenly. The cleanup is easy too.

· Why should spinach be thoroughly dry? Fresh lettuce or any salad greens should be dry enough to “hold” dressing. If wet, the greens repel oil preventing it from coating their leaves. The dressing pools at the bottom of the bowl where the liquid turns leaves soggy.

· What is an emulsion? A mixture of 2+ liquids that temporarily fuse as 1 liquid. For an olive oil-based dressing, add olive oil after the vinegar or other liquid ingredient. Mix thoroughly in a bowl or shake in a closed jar.

· Why should the salad sit a few minutes before serving? Denser ingredients-avocado, kiwi combined with protein-cheese & bacon, and nuts taste even better having “rested” in the dressing before it is eaten.

Kiki's No Knead Bread

Simple Ingredients 

  • 3 ⅓ cups/430 grams all-purpose or bread flour, plus more for dusting 

  • ¼ teaspoon instant yeast 

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt 

  • Cornmeal or wheat bran, as needed 

  • Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil for dipping 

  • Villa Graziella Organic Tuscan Herb Seasoning Blend for dipping   

Easy Directions 

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons/390 milliliters water and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky.  

  2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees. The dough will be ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles.  

  3. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes. 

  4. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball.  

  5. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran, or cornmeal.  

  6. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When ready, the dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger. 

  7. At least a half-hour before the dough is ready, heat oven to 450F˚.  

  8. Place a 6-to-8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is O.K. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes.  

  9. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned.  

  10. Cool on a rack, serve and enjoy! 

Helpful Hints 

  • To help dough rise in a drafty or colder home, turn the oven to 250-300˚F and place the bowl near the oven. 

  • Dust a cast iron pot with cornmeal before placing the dough in it to prevent the bread from sticking.

Easy Sautéed Mushrooms

Did you know Sauté is the French word for “jump”, or cooking over high heat while constantly stirring? Vegan and vegetarian, sauté onions & then mushrooms with balsamic vinegar for a rich savory flavor. Enjoy in a grain bowl, top a flat bread, serve with pasta & rice, or baked salmon. This will be one of your winter favorites. 6 ample servings.

Simple Ingredients:

· 6 tablespoons Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

· 2 tablespoons Villa Graziella Organic Balsamico Argento-Silver Balsamic Vinegar

· 32 ounces (4 cups) fresh baby bella, white button, cremini, or portabella mushrooms

· 2 yellow onions

· 1 teaspoon sea salt

· 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Easy Directions:

1. Peel and cut onions in half, place in a bowl of cold water and refrigerate 30 minutes.

2. While the onions soak, clean the mushrooms, slice, and set aside.

3. Remove the onions from the refrigerator, chop in cubes or slice and set aside.

4. In a medium sauté pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat.

5. Add the onions stirring often, cook 2-3 minutes until they turn golden but not brown.

6. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan, stirring as they release liquid, 2-3 minutes.

7. Add the sea salt, cracked pepper and balsamic vinegar, lower the heat to medium.

8. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring until the liquid dissipates and mushrooms become tender not soft. Do not overcook.

· To clean mushrooms, fill a large bowl with lukewarm water, toss mushrooms allowing the dirt to settle to the bottom. Or place in a large colander, lightly “shower” with lukewarm water, allowing the dirt to wash away. Remove and pat dry with a clean dish towel.

· Soaking onion in cold water dilutes the pungent, raw bite of sulfur, leaving it milder but still crunchy.

· Refrigerate and store up to 3 days, reheat over low-medium heat in a skillet.

Wild Rice Soup

What to serve at your Friendsgiving gathering? Enjoy this creamy, delicious soup with fresh vegetables & hearty wild rice for a crowd-pleasing 1st course. Makes a tasty next day lunch or dinner. 6-7 servings.

Simple Ingredients:

· 2 tablespoons Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil + extra for drizzling

· 4 cups cooked chicken or turkey, diced cubes-optional-

· 2 unpeeled, fresh carrots washed dried, and chopped.

· 2 fresh celery stalks washed, dried, and chopped.

· 1 fresh onion diced-yellow or red.

· 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced.

· ¼ cup all-purpose flour

· 7 ½ cups (1.88 quarts) homemade chicken or vegetable stock or low sodium broth, if possible organic

· 1 cup (5 ounces) uncooked wild rice blend

· 1 cup (8 ounces) creamy goat cheese or heavy cream.

· Sea salt & freshly cracked pepper to taste.

Easy Directions:

1. In a large pot with a lid or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, add carrots and celery with a pinch each of sea salt & pepper. Stir & sauté until vegetables soften about 5 minutes.

2. Add the onion, stir, and sauté until veggies start to become translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by garlic, stir until garlic becomes golden, not brown. Then sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stir and sauté until evenly coated, 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the wild rice to the pot and slowly stir in 7 cups of the stock or broth, set aside remaining ½ cup.

5. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over low heat until vegetables soften, and the rice absorbs some of the broth about 30-40 minutes.

6. As the soup simmers, remove the goat cheese from the refrigerator and slice into 1/2-inch rounds, set aside. If using cream remove from refrigerator and set aside.

7. Add cubed meat, stirring occasionally, simmer over low heat until rice becomes more tender, about 10-15 minutes.

8. Add the goat cheese or cream to the pot, stir until fully blended.

9. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

10. Drizzle with olive oil, serve immediately & enjoy!

Helpful Hints

  • Sautéing veggies on medium heat allows them to “sweat” releasing liquid while gaining rich flavors.

  • Add meat at the end to avoid overcooking and becoming too soft.

  • If not ready to serve, turn off heat and cover the pot. Note that the rice will continue to absorb the broth, add remaining ½ cup of broth and cook to desired consistency before adding the meat and goat cheese.

  • Soup not thick enough? Simmer uncovered 10 minutes before serving.

  • For fully blended flavors, prepare soup a day ahead. Allow to cool, soup will thicken as it rests. Reheat over low heat.

  • Refrigerate up to 3 days. Freeze in an airtight container up to 3 months.

  • Compost or add remaining veggie stalks & skins in your next stock
