This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup pepitas
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon Fleur de Sel
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Family Reserve Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients together (oats, pepitas, almonds, pecans, sesame seeds, salt, cinnamon, olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla), stir until blended. Spread granola mix evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp (stirring about halfway through for even cooking). Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving or storing.
