Carbonell Olive Oil Prize Pack Giveaway


A while back, I had the chance to make one of my favorite recipes, Chicken Basquaise, with the addition of Carbonell Spanish Olive Oil!

Much like Spanish wine, Spanish olive oil offers a distinctively different flavor that liberates meat, fish and vegetable dishes from the confines of traditional, expected taste. Carbonell olive oil, since 1866, is only produced and bottled in Spain. Its quality and tradition have made it one of the preferred brands all over the world.  Carbonell Extra Virgin olive oil has an intense flavor that is delicious in salads or as a base for dips, dressings and as a seasoning in many dishes.


Check out my recipe for Chicken Basquaise!

And here's another great recipe using Carbonell olive oil - Apple and Mango Marinated Chicken!


APPLE AND MANGO MARINATED CHICKEN

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Carbonell Extra Light Olive Oil
4 cleaned free-range, boneless chicken breasts (cut into 3-inch strips)
2 cups fresh apple cider
2 cups mango juice or your favorite equivalent (guava, pineapple or blend)
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. kosher salt
additional kosher salt and black pepper for seasoning
after the marinating process

Directions:

1. Remove any fat and cartilage from the chicken breast and cut into small 3-inch strips.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together juices, salt, pepper and Carbonell Extra Light Olive Oil.

3. In a glass baking dish, container or resealable plastic bag, lay the strips of chicken in the marinade and let them sit overnight for maximum results.

4. Remove the chicken from marinade and season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper (50/50 blend).

5. Heat outdoor or indoor grill to high and place strips on it, quickly grilling each side. Do not overcook the chicken as these little strips will cook in about 3-5 minutes total cooking time (remember some of the acids from the juices have broken down the chicken already).

6. Remove cooked chicken from the grill and place in a new clean container.

7. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and let chicken rest (it will continue to cook slightly). Serve over a simple salad or roasted corn salad.

Tough call because all of them sound good. However, I think the Extra Virgin Olive Oil would win because it sounds like it would be a good fit with the food I normally like to cook.

I would love to try the Carbonell Classic Extra Virgin. I use olive oil every day and it is very healthy instead of regular oil.

We use olive oil in place of butter in our bread. I would like to try the classic Spanish flavor.

Well, I would choose the Extra Virgin oil, because indeed, besides in cooking, boy do we just use olive oil to dip our bread into and i just love it... yum.... nothing goes better with Italian food than that!

extra virgin oil, olive oil is much healthier than regular veg oil !

candy kratzer wenzel,  December 13, 2013 at 3:01 PM  

I use all 3 kinds of olive oil but I tend to use the Light version more since I like baking. I have a very bad stomach and olive oil is the only one that I tolerate the best. candyk777@live.com

I know very little about olive oil. But I am trying to eat more healthily so I'd like to try the extra virgin olive oil.

Salleefur/Jesselyn/Jesster December 15, 2013 at 7:16 PM  

I'd have to flip a coin to decide between the Extra Virgin and the Light - because I love cooking with olive oil as well as using it in dressings, sauces, marinades etc. I use both ALL the time. In fact sometime, olive oil is the ONLY kind of oil we have in the house - and yes I've sauteed just about everything in olive oil including pancakes and French toast!
