Presunto and Cheese Rolls

2 hrs, 30 min

These rolls are as soft as a Hawaiian bun, but savory from the bits of meat and cheese inside. We split the dough in this recipe into roll-sized shapes, but you can easily just split the dough into four pieces and turn them into decadent sandwich rolls. When they bake they get a nice golden cheesy crust and the inside is airy, soft and luscious from the olive oil, while the fragrant spices will have your stomach growling! They're perfect to accompany soups, salads or serve at brunch. They also make a great breakfast egg sandwich, or serve them with warm marinara for dipping as an appetizer for movie night. "Every Saturday when I was growing up, my mother would go to the local Portuguese bakery and buy a dozen chouriço rolls—torpedo-shaped logs stuffed with sausage. By Monday, they were gone, mostly due to me. To dress up my childhood classic, I add presunto and cheese, and sometimes sautéed onions and garlic, to the dough. And I form the rolls into round loaves because I think they look elegant on the table."- From David Leite

Spiced Monkey Bread

1 hr

Monkey bread is most often sweet, and served with a drizzle of syrupy glaze. Here we decided to give it a twist and make monkey bread that is salty, crunchy and savory.  The soft, chewy rolls of dough are piled high and baked in a Bundt pan. To eat them you pick the pieces apart like a monkey! It's fun to eat and a festive addition to a potluck or holiday table. Serve the monkey bread with a sauce like sour cream, butter, marinara or olive oil. A small ramekin perfectly fits in the middle.

Taste of Portugal Olive Oil Dip

5 min

Looking for a quick appetizer or light snack? There isn't anything easier than a two-ingredient dip using A Taste of Portugal and good olive oil. This dip has everything you want in a dip—layers of smoky, fruity, tangy, herbal, and salty flavors will have you eagerly going back for more. The tang from the red wine vinegar powder in this blend balances out the luscious olive oil, so it doesn't feel too heavy, and the dip makes a great base for garnishes, such as grape tomatoes, Marcona almonds, and an assortment of olives. Any left over mixture can be used to toss with pasta or for marinating chicken.

Garden-Veggie Focaccia

30 min

Garden-Veggie Focaccia is fun to make and a tabletop stunner. Both rewarding and forgiving, this recipe bakes up spongy on the inside with a crispy cheese crust. The secret to getting the top layer golden brown is our Nigella Caesar blend. It has all of the savory flavors of Caesar salad that go perfectly with the generous amount of olive oil and parmesan cheese in the focaccia. You can bake this in a deeper pan for sandwiches or a more shallow pan to cut out the perfect bread sticks. Have fun and use your imagination to decorate! Just cut off a square and enjoy it along with your favorite soup, salad, or marinara sauce. If you want a little more garlic flavor, melt some butter and stir in some Garlic Salt and brush the top of the freshly baked focaccia.

Cascade Turkey Roulade

After years of grilling the turkey, we decided to try something entirely new this year. Inspired by the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, we created a menu to showcase regional flavors with this delicious turkey roulade as the centerpiece. Perfect for smaller gatherings, it is moist and satisfying. As a bonus feature, it is a great hack to safely get the stuffing inside the turkey! The larger the turkey breast, the easier it will be to butterfly and roll. A larger breast gives you more surface area to spreading the stuffing, and it will result in a more impressive pinwheel when you slice the finished roulade. We began by brining the breast with our Northwest Forest Brine, infusing the meat with flavors of the forest, like juniper and California bay leaf. Then, we rubbed it with classic, sagey Poultry Rub. This recipe makes enough for both sides of the breast, but you can dial it down for a half if needed, or double up on the stuffing if, like us, you can eat a whole extra pan.Cornbread and Cascade Mushroom Mix are the foundation of the stuffing, and the earthy flavors are deeply delicious. As an accent on top of the celery and onion, we added in dried tart cranberries, for a little pop of flavor. The mouthwatering presentation of this beautiful roulade made the perfect centerpiece for our Best of the Northwest holiday meal, and the fresh bounty of the region shines through with complimentary spicing.If you've never tied a roast or just want a refresher, here's a sweet clip on How to Tie a Roulade.

Grilled Svaneti Bread

Making flatbread can be intimidating, but don't let that hold you back! This recipe shows that it can be easy, quick, and absolutely delectable. This grilled bread is rustic and fun to tear apart. We used whole wheat flour to give it a fantastic chew and nutty flavor. Don't fret over getting things uniform because the fun shapes are encouraged when rolling it thin. Instant yeast does its magic quickly and makes this bread recipe forgiving. Now, get your grill HOT! The bread grills up in less than a minute with beautiful charred bubbles and gorgeous grill lines. After grilling, give it a liberal drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of our Svaneti Seasoned Salt. This salt has the pow of caraway, fenugreek, garlic, and coriander. Pair this bread with a yogurt dipping sauce or with grilled vegetables and it'll bring your meal together.Serve with a dip or spread of your choice. Tzatziki Sauce with Dill Pollen, Aleppo Pepper Muhammara or Everything Hummus are excellent choices to enjoy your Grilled Svaneti Bread with!

Porcini Soda Bread

Irish soda bread is one of the easiest quick breads to make, and it's very adaptable. Whole wheat, oats and rye flours make this a hearty loaf. For this version, we added a full complement of umami with earthy Porcini Pieces mushrooms and our bestselling Cascade Mushroom Mix. From there, we wanted to add some chewy bites, so sweet dried apricots and tart cherries made it into the mix as well. If you don't have dried tart cherries, dried cranberries are equally delicious in this soda bread. The end result was a delicious and hearty bread to brighten your St. Patrick's Day celebration, or to serve with soups or stews.

Flour Tortillas

It's no secret that flour tortillas are champions of versatility! You can top them with anything, fill them with anything, and they work great for snacks or for meals. What's less well known, however, is that they're also incredibly easy to make! Really! And nothing beats a fresh, warm tortilla.When making tortillas at home, use the opportunity to be creative! By using different spices or flours, you can inject a little flair into your recipe, and make your tortillas truly unique! In this recipe, we use Saffron and Butterfly Pea Flower to give our tortillas unique and distinctive colors. You can substitute a portion of the all-purpose flour for other flours, too, for more flavor and texture variety.Recipes such as this one traditionally use lard, but we've found that vegetable oil makes a perfectly suitable substitution. It's easy to double or triple this recipe, and they'll keep in your refrigerator in an airtight container for a couple of weeks. Homemade tortillas are best when fresh, though, and we don't think you'll have any problem finding ways to use them!
