1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (try one of our Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oils for fun flavor!)
2-3oz. baby arugula or spinach
2 cups penne pasta
1 Tablespoon Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
2/3 cup coarsley grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to instructions on package. While pasta is cooking, peel sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 inch pieces. Heat olive oil in large frying pan and begin to saute the sweet potatoes over medium heat stirring occasionally so they don't burn on one side. When sweet potatoes are soft and cooked through, turn heat to low and add the other 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Saute over low heat, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes more or until the sweet potatoes are all glazed with the vinegar. Season sweet potatoes well with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Wash the arugula (or spinach) if needed and then place in the bottom of the colander where you're going to drain the pasta. When pasta is done, scoop out 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; then pour the hot pasta over the arugula. Let it drain for a minute or so, then add the pasta and arugula to the pan with the sweet potatoes and stir to combine. Add the reserved pasta cooking water and stir gently again. Then add most of the Parmesan cheese and stir again. Serve hot, with the reserved Parmesan cheese to sprinkle over each serving at the table.
2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sea salt
fresh cracked pepper to taste
1/3 cup Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover the potatoes with water and add one tablespoon of sea salt. Bring to a full boil and cook for approximately 7 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy when pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Rub a sheet pan liberally with garlic olive oil. Place the potatoes on the sheet pan and gently crush each into a disk using the bottom of a glass that has been greased with garlic olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh cracked papper. Drizzle liberally with the remaining garlic olive oil and bake until golden brown and crisp, approximately 15-20 minutes.
8 boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil (try our Arbosana, Picholine, Leccino or Frantoio/Leccino)
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup Vermont Maple Balsamic Vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup Pumpkin Spice White Balsamic Vinegar
1 - 3" sprig fresh thyme
1 ripe quince (about 10 oz.) peeled, quartered, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces (apples can be substituted by reducing the poaching time to 20 minutes)
Bring water and balsamic to a simmer in a 2 - 2 1/2 quart saucepan. Add the quince and sprig of thyme. Simmer, gently stirring once or twice, until quince is tender, about 35 minutes. Discard the thyme sprig, drain quince in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve for pan sauce.
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. In nonstick 12 inch skillet, heat the EVOO over med-high heat. Cook chops 4 minutes one side, turn over and cook 3 minutes the other side. Transfer to platter and keep warm. Increase heat to high. Stir shallot into pan juices; cook 2 minutes. Stir in the balsamic and cook down for an additional 2 minutes. Add the strained poached quince to the pan and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
To serve, ladle the pan sauce and quinces over the pork chops.
