Intensity in Every Bite!

We don't use recipes at the @gardenofeden, but we do have some favorite staples that we keep on hand that enhance and help to develop many layers in our creative, wholesome dishes.

In this jar are some very basic ingredients that, when added to almost anything, make a powerful statement.

Lots of tiny bits of finely diced peppers (jalapeno, serrano, or otherwise), finely diced fresh garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper are the basics.

Sometimes we add fresh chives, cilantro, lemon balm, mint or other fresh herbs from the garden. We have also added cubed, crumbled or grated cheese, diced tomatoes, diced onions or shallots, or other veggies we have on hand.

No matter what we add or don't add, the basics always up the flavor profile.

This day the Pepper/Garlic Olive Oil Infusion topped breakfast tostada-

  • Crispy homemade tostada round
  • Refried Beans
  • Mexican spiced hummus
  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Bacon
  • Sour cream
  • Homemade crumbly cheese
  • Homemade pineapple/habanero salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Candied Jalapenos/Onions (another one of our delicious staples)
  • Fresh chives
  • Fresh purple onion
  • And the always intense and potent Jalapeno/Garlic Olive Oil Infusion

Easy upgrade for this, sandwiches, soups, omelets, mashed potatoes, pizza, meats, veggies, grilled breads, italian/greek/mediterranean/other ethnic foods.....the list goes on. Try it on for size and let me know how much you love it!
