Only olives from Spain and Chef Seamus Mullen unite to bring the Spanish
olive to the forefront of the culinary and dining experience, raising
awareness of the versatility of the product by unveiling exclusive
recipes that will make anybody's mouth water. This key ingredient in
the Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest diets in the world, is an
all-around delight with so many varieties and ways to savor them.
Developed in conjunction with Olives from Spain, Mullen's recipes
vary from simple, quick appetizers to sophisticated main courses,
designed not only to be accessible and attractive to home-cooks and
experts alike, but to showcase the many ways Spanish olives can spice up
any meal or special occasion. Dishes such as Dressed Olives and Mixed Olives from Spain with Ventresca Marinade can be made in minutes while Olive Crusted Wild King Salmon will give cooks the opportunity to impress and delight guests at their next dinner party.
"I've
always loved Spanish culture and olives are an integral part of Spanish
cuisine. Not only are they easy to use and delicious," said Chef
Seamus Mullen. "It's important for me to use ingredients that speak for
themselves and really add taste to a recipe but also keep the dish
nutritious and flavorful."
Chef Mullen's alignment with Olives
from Spain marks a momentous occasion for foodies around the nation,
enticing travel from near and far to experience these delectable
recipes. The love for olives doesn't stop here, with Olives from Spain
available in more than 120 countries in the world, it's no wonder Chef
Seamus Mullen aligned with the campaign. Set as the global leader for
olive cultivation, Spain accounts for 39 percent of the world's olive
trade and holds the ideal climate for the crop's growth. The initiative
for Olives from Spain is led by Interaceituna, an Inter-Professional
Table Olive Organization recognized by the Spanish Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Tertulia will continue to
highlight the alignment with Olives from Spain by serving olives for
guests until the end of the year. In addition, cooks from around the
globe can bring the wonder of each special dish into their very own
kitchen with online recipe cards created by Mullen himself. www.olivesfromspain.us
