New Dip Mixes

We are excited to let our customers know of 2 new dip mixes that we have made for January 2013. But wait, not yet...it's still a secret.

Homemade Garlic Bagel Chips with Dip

BAGEL CHIPS (HOMEMADE) WITH DIP

4 Plain Bagels, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed. 1 package of your choice of any veggie dip mix. Directions: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. With a sharp knife, very carefully slice the bagels one at a time as thinly as possible, for 8 to 10 thin slices per bagel. Spread in 1 layer on the prepared sheets.Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When oil starts to get warm, about 1 minute, remove from the heat and add the garlic. Let sit about 10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oil. With a pastry brush, lightly brush the oil on the bagel chips. Bake until golden brown. Turn and bake on the second side until just crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. To serve, arrange the bagel chips on a platter with the creamy garlic and vegetable spread.

Fish with Pesto Butter

 Looking for a simple dinner? How about Fish with Pesto Butter? Yum! Also works fantastic with our Roasted Garlic & Herb Olive Oil Blend or Dill-icious Dip Mix!
Serves 4. Ingredients
For the Pesto butter:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 package Pesto Olive Oil Blend from Gourmet Creations.
For the Fish
a drizzle of olive oil
4 portions 6 to 8 ounces each of any firm fleshed fish: such as Halibut, Grouper, Sea Bass, Salmon or Tilapia, salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
First make the Pesto butter. Place the butter in the bowl and add package of Pesto dip mix. Mix well with a hand mixer until thoroughly blended. Scrape the butter onto plastic wrap and roll into a sausage shape and chill in the fridge until needed.
For the fish; season both sides of the fillet with salt and pepper add the olive oil to a non-stick frying pan. When the pan is hot, add the fish, skin-side down first, and cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish, without moving it around at all. This will ensure the skin doesn't stick to the pan.
While the fish is cooking, remove the butter from the fridge and slice off eight discs with a hot knife (using a hot knife creates a clean cut).
Turn the fish over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or so, until the fillet is cooked but still slightly translucent flesh in its center. This slight 'undercooking' keeps the fish moist and tender.
To serve, lay the fillets on warm serving plates and top with a slice or two of Pesto butter. Enjoy!

Sunday Morning Bagels

A great idea for Sunday morning bagels...take 1 of any of our dessert mixes and mix with 16 oz of cream cheese. Let sit in fridge for a few hours and you have a gourmet bagel spread!
