I cooked with Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, delicious and nutritious, plus: You could win $200!

Dear Readers:

  Thanks to the Smiley 360 Blogger Program I received a yummy bottle of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil to use in my recipes.  I alternate between coconut oil and olive oil and Pompeian's Oil is delicious. I made several recipes with this new bottle including: Spicy 5 pepper fish.

Super easy. I took a 5 oz filet of flounder, rubbed it with the fiery 5 pepper rub and then sauteed it in the Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  I do not eat meat. and eat fish a couple of times a week and this olive oil was delicious and really brought out the flavor of the fish. It was super yummy! 

I also use Olive Oil for shrimp, chicken and other proteins in our house. Another great recipe that I made recently was an easy shrimp dish:

Choose a portion of fresh or frozen shrimp leaving the tales on, but deveining and pulling off the shells.In this case about 8-10 shrimp.  Then saute them lightly in the Olive Oil and add fresh or canned chopped garlic, and spicy sauce or tomato sauce depending on your palate. I like things spicy so I add red pepper and serve with a cold, crisp salad (dressing made with Olive Oil and spice pack).

The third recipe that I took photos of (and believe me I used this olive oil almost every day in one way or another) was this:

Turkey Sausage and Peppers/Onions 

Another spicy dish that is super easy to make when you run in and do not have a lot of dinner prep time. Just slice up some fresh turkey sausage,  a couple of onions and fresh peppers and saute in Olive Oil. Then serve on a long Italian roll (or skip the bread like me) and salad.
