Ingredients
  1. 1 tablespoon Olivia's Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive Oil
  2. 6 medium uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
  3. 1 avocado
  4. 1/2 lime, juiced
  5. 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  6. 2 tablespoons crumbled Mexican cheese such as queso fresca or cotija
  7. Salt and pepper, to taste
  8. Optional: 1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
  9. Optional garnish: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Heat ½ tablespoon Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive Oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, cooking for 1 minute on the first side.
  2. Use tongs to flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until opaque.
  3. Remove from the pan and cut into ½ inch pieces.
  4. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. You now have a small well in each half of the avocado. Create a bigger well by scooping out some flesh with a melon baller or spoon. Reserve what you scooped out and set it aside in a medium bowl.
  5. Rub the exposed avocado flesh with lime juice or the spent lime half to prevent browning.
  6. Mash the reserved avocado flesh with remaining ½ tablespoon of Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive oil, ½ teaspoon lime juice and ½ teaspoon minced jalapeno.
  7. Add the shrimp and mix to combine.
  8. Add the cherry tomato halves and gently mix. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper or lime if necessary.
  9. Spoon the mixture into the wells in each avocado half.
  10. Top each with 1 tablespoon of Mexican cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro, if using.
  11. Serve the avocado shrimp boats with a spoon, scraping the avocado flesh out of the skin to enjoy with the shrimp mixture.

Rosemary Ham w/ Garlic and Lemon

Rosemary Ham w/ Garlic and Lemon
Write a review
Print
Ham
  1. One 8½-pound bone-in fresh ham, preferably shank end
  2. 1 medium lemon, finely zested
  3. 1/4 cup Olivia's Rosemary Olive Oil
  4. 6 medium cloves garlic, cut in half
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1/2 cup
  7. 1/4 cup water
  8. 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Pan Sauce
  1. 1/4 cup white wine
  2. 1/2 cup chicken broth
  3. 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
  4. 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  5. 2 tablespoons Amarena cherries
For the ham
  1. Set the ham in a large heavy-duty roasting pan, with the bone standing straight up. Use a sharp knife to score the fat in a 1-inch diamond pattern, cutting only about 3/4 of the way through the fat.
  2. Peel the zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith. In a largebowl, combine the zest, Rosemary Olive Oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoonpepper and honey. Rub this mixture all over the ham. Cover the pan tightly with foil and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours.
  3. Position a rack in the oven so that the ham will sit as high as possible but still have at least 2 inches space above for air circulation. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Take ham out of the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, at least 45 minutes. Pour the water and vinegar in the bottom of the roasting pan. Keep the ham covered with the foil and roast for 3 hours. Remove foil and add the honey to the bottom of the pan. Continue roasting, basting every 15 minutes or so, until the ham is well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat (without touching bone) registers 170°F (check in several places), 1 to 1½ hours more. If the ham or drippings begin to brown too much, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  5. Transfer the ham to a carving board to rest while you make the sauce.
For the sauce
  1. Pour the pan drippings into a bowl, let sit until the fat rises to the top, and then skim off the fat.
  2. Return the skimmed drippings to the roasting pan and set the pan over medium heat. Whisk in the wine, scraping up any particles stuck to the pan's bottom. Whisk in the broth and 1/2 cup water and continue to boil until the liquid is reduced by one-third, about 2 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, use a fork to mash the butter with the flour in a small bowl or ramekin to create a thick paste. Whisk the cherries into the sauce, then add the butter paste in parts, whisking until the paste is fully dissolved and the sauce is simmering and thickened.
To serve
  1. Carve the ham and serve with the sauce on the side.
