Ingredients
  1. 3 tablespoons Olivia's Blood Orange Olive Oil
  2. ¼ cup Olivia's Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar
  3. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  4. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  5. 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  6. 1 teaspoon salt
  7. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  8. 4½ pounds chicken leg quarters, cut into pieces
  9. ½ cup chicken stock
  10. 1-2 teaspoons orange zest for garnish)
  11. 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Rinse chicken and dry with paper towels.
  2. Trim any excess skin and visible fat from chicken pieces. Cut each leg quarter with a sharp knife separating into thigh and drumstick pieces.
  3. Prepare marinade by whisking the first seven ingredients together (the Blood Orange EVOO, chocolate balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper). Since the mustard is a good emulsifier, you don’t need to stream in the blood orange olive oil; you can mix all the ingredients at once.

For the scones
  1. 2 cups all purpose gluten free flour
  2. 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  3. ½ teaspoon salt
  4. ½ cup almond milk
  5. 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  6. ¼ cup maple syrup
  7. ½ cup Olivia's Blood Orange Olive Oil
  8. ¼ cup cacao nibs
For the glaze
  1. ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  2. 1 Tablespoon blood orange juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
  4. Add almond milk mixture, maple syrup, and blood orange olive oil to dry ingredients, stirring to combine, fold in cacao nibs. The mixture will be oily - much more than traditional scones make with cold butter.
  5. On a lined cookie sheet, roll or press mixture until it is ¾ inch thick.
  6. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out your hearts and place on a separate lined cookie sheet. Continue to do so until you have used the entire dough. Mine yielded 16 miniature scones.
  7. Place scones in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  8. Bake scones, straight from the freezer, for 13 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
  10. Once cooled, make glaze.
  11. Start with powdered sugar and add blood orange juice one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  12. Dip scones and allow glaze to set.

Barbecue Pork Ribs w/Balsamic Marinade

Barbecue Pork Ribs w/Balsamic Marinade
Write a review
Save Recipe
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 cup tomato sauce
  2. ¼ cup aged Olivia's Espresso Balsamic Vinegar
  3. ¼ cup Olivia's Garlic Olive Oil
  4. ¼ cup honey
  5. ½ tsp. paprika
  6. 1 tsp. onion powder
  7. Salt & pepper to taste
  8. 4 lbs. pork ribs
Instructions
  1. Marinate the ribs in half the sauce (or just enough to coat them. You don't want a ton of extra sauce in there). I put mine in a zipper-top plastic bag overnight.
  2. Warm up your barbecue and place the ribs on the grill, being sure that excess sauce has been wiped away. If it drips down into the flames, the ribs will catch on fire. (Yes, I know this from personal experience)
  3. Cook the ribs until a meat thermometer reaches at least 165 F. on all parts of the ribs. Check multiple spots to be sure! You can always cut off the thinner, already done ribs if the rest of the ribs still have a ways to go.
  4. When fully cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and place on a platter.
  5. Pour the second half of the sauce over the ribs and allow them to sit for about 10 minutes before cutting.
