Fun Summer Brunch Recipies To Enjoy From Pasolivo In Paso Robles California.
Pasolivo Oranges
This is an easy, elegant way to highlight the taste of extra virgin olive oil. It's perfect to bring to a party, and it looks lovely on the table with its vibrant colors.
INGREDIENTS:
Pinch of sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Loaf of fresh bread
DIRECTIONS:
Cut the oranges into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange on a large plate or platter. With a fork, press the orange slices to release some of the juice. Sprinkle just a pinch of sugar over the oranges. Generously drizzle with Pasolivo Extra Virgin Olive Oil so that the oranges are covered in olive oil. Pepper the oranges. Cut the bread and dip it onto the orange slices. You'll taste the oil, with a hint of fresh citrus.
You can also try this with lemons or grapefruit. Tucking basil leaves under the oranges adds even more color.
