Smoked Albacore Spread

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

This spread is served at We Olive La Jolla’s wine bar and features Sonoma Smoked Olive Oil from the Smoked Olive.

To make it, you’ll need:

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 – 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
4 oz. canned albacore tuna*
1 oz. smoked olive oil**, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
salt and pepper

1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes. In a large bowl, beat the first 5 ingredients (shallot through olive oil) together until thoroughly combined and consistency is smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
2. Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional smoked olive oil. Sprinkle with chives and serve with crackers or toasted baguette slices and veggies like cucumber and Belgian endive.

*We love canned albacore from American Tuna, which is a high quality pole caught tuna produced by a group of fishing families. Learn more about American Tuna here.
** We use Sonoma Smoked Extra Virgin Olive Oil from The Smoked Olive, which is available in many We Olive stores.

Fish and White Bean Tostadas

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Recipe from Recipe Diaries.

1 lime, zested and juiced, plus lime wedges for garnish
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Bozzano A2 extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for baking sheet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white fish fillets, like tilapia, flounder, sole, skin discarded and cut into finger-sized pieces
1/4 cup Bozzano A2 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Sauteed White Beans, recipe follows
1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
Pineapple and Avocado Salsa, recipe follows
Sour cream, for garnish

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, zest, garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the fish in a baking dish and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for no more than 15 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or grill. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Remove the fish from the marinade and arrange on the baking sheet, making sure to leave space between the pieces. Broil until just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas, 1 at a time, just until crisp, flipping halfway through to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels and salt while still hot.

To assemble the tostadas: Layer each tostada first with Sauteed White Beans, then the fish. Top with the shredded cabbage and Pineapple and Avocado Salsa. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of a lime wedge.

Sauteed White Beans:

2 tablespoons Bozzano A2 extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 white or yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups cooked navy beans
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried)
Freshly ground black pepper

In a small pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot add the onion with a pinch of salt and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat and add the white wine. Cook until the wine has reduced by half. Stir in the beans and oregano and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook gently for 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Pineapple and Avocado Salsa:

1 (14-ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained and juices reserved
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Bozzano A2 extra-virgin olive oil
1 small jalapeno, seeds removed and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 medium avocado, halved, pitted and flesh cubed
2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves

In a medium bowl, make the dressing by mixing 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice with the lime juice, honey, olive oil and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the pineapple and onion. Gently fold in the avocado and cilantro. Let the flavors blend for at least 15 minutes before serving.
