How To Use Them Together:

Using black peppercorn infused olive oil and Sicilian lemon aged white balsamic vinegar together can elevate a variety of dishes. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate them into your meals:

Dressings and Marinades

• Salad Dressing: Whisk together 3 parts black peppercorn infused olive oil and 1 part Sicilian lemon aged white balsamic vinegar. Add salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of honey for sweetness. Drizzle over mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumber.
• Marinade for Meat: Combine the olive oil and vinegar with minced garlic, herbs (like rosemary or thyme), and a pinch of salt. Marinate chicken, pork, or seafood for at least 30 minutes before grilling or baking.

Drizzling and Dipping

• Drizzle on Roasted Vegetables: Toss roasted vegetables (like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or asparagus) with the infused olive oil and a splash of the balsamic vinegar just before serving for added flavor.
• Bread Dipping Oil: Serve the black peppercorn infused olive oil in a small bowl, mixed with a dash of the balsamic vinegar, as a dip for crusty bread.

Pasta and Grains

• Pasta Salad: Cook pasta and let it cool. Toss with diced vegetables, olives, feta cheese, and a dressing made from the olive oil and vinegar for a refreshing pasta salad.
• Grain Bowl: Use quinoa or farro as a base, and top it with roasted vegetables, beans, and a drizzle of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar mixture.

Seafood and Poultry

• Fish Fillet: Brush fish fillets with the black peppercorn olive oil before grilling. Serve with a drizzle of Sicilian lemon aged white balsamic vinegar for a zesty finish.
• Chicken Breast: Sauté chicken breasts in the olive oil, then finish with a splash of the balsamic vinegar for a tangy glaze.

Soups and Stews

• Flavor Boost: Add a spoonful of the vinegar to soups or stews just before serving for a bright, acidic note.

Final Touch

• Finishing Touch: Use the vinegar as a finishing touch on dishes like risotto or polenta, adding brightness just before serving.
