This recipe for our new Gluten Free Corn Couscous takes less than 5 minutes to make and is a healthy, delicious and simple dish!
2 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Box Bacchini Gluten Free Corn Couscous
1 Jar Radici of Tuscany Chianti Baby Chickpeas
2 tablespoons butter
In a large pot, add water, salt, oil, and bring up to a boil. Take pot off heat and add couscous. Cover and let sit in pot to absorb the water (2 minutes). Add butter and gently mix in to separate couscous. Mix in beans and serve warm.
Only five minutes for a delicious grain and legume dish! The Radici of Tuscany Chickpeas are packed in extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice so they add a great texture and flavor to the couscous, I highly recommend using this specific line of beans to make this a five star recipe.
Is it true? Has a Black Truffle & Sea Salt Chocolate been created? It has indeed. XOCOLATL has teamed up with Ritrovo Selections to create a magical pairing, beautiful dark chocolate with black truffle. At first it may sound strange, but the flavor is almost, well, magical as much as it is mysterious. How could this combination create something so different and yet so delicious?!
XOCOLATL Chocolate with Black Truffle & Sea Salt comes in small half ounce singles, along with XOCOLATL Chocolate with Fiore Di Sale and XOCOLATL Chocolate with Cintrone Hot Pepper Chocolate. I love each and every one of them with all of my heart, but I have chosen to write about the truffle chocolate first because it is the most unusual and sure to be a hit sensation in the very, very near future. A pricier item, but well worth the intrigue and delight!
Another exciting thing about these chocolates is that each one uses a Ritrovo main ingredient. The Truffle & Salt is used in the black truffle chocolate, the Fiore Di Sale is used in the sea salt chocolate, and the Cintrone Hot Pepper is used in the spicy hot pepper chocolate. Because I know each of these products, it brings another layer of excitement to these delicate sweets for me.

Barolo Pasta with Olive Oil & Fennel Salt

Fill a large pot with water. Bring water up to a boil and add pasta. Let cook about 5 minutes or until cooked for your taste. Strain pasta, mix in olive oil and add Fennel & Salt to taste. This is an incredibly simple and delicious recipe. The flavor of the pasta is shown off through the simplicity of this dish, good olive oil and fennel salt are key! Serve hot or cold as a side to meats or poultry.
A touch of this magical combination could send you on a culinary rampage. Italian lemons and vanilla create a unique flavored marmalade to be savored. Try a touch of our Feudo Delle Ginestre Lemon & Vanilla Marmalade over desserts, pastries and even as an appetizer compliment for fine cheeses.
After much talk of pomegranate molasses we are ecstatic to finally have some in! This isn’t just any old molasses, but a special syrup extracted from pomegranate fruit that adds extraordinary flavor to dressings, drizzled over desserts and even meats.
This new pomegranate molasses/fruit conserve by Feudo Delle Ginestre is imported by Ritrovo Selections and available at our shop in Seattle as well as online!
One of the pomegranate molasses that flooded our shop with desperate shoppers was this recipe from the Seattle Times:

Many of you have heard about or tried flavored olive oils. Many of these flavored olive oils are not the best of quality, not the oil and not the flavoring. Casina Rossa’s extra virgin olive oil is pressed with fresh Sicilian lemons. The rich olive oil is infused with bright, citrus flavors of Mediterranean lemons. There is nothing quite like it. As opposed to other olive oils that simply have flavor added to them, this olive oil is actually pressed with fresh lemons. If you haven’t tried it, you must! It ranks as one of the best selling products in our shop, and a Ritrovo gem.
Use Casina Rossa’s Lemon Olive Oil over pasta, in salad dressing and as a key ingredient in roasted chicken.
It’s the best of the best truffle salt you can find, Truffle & Salt by Casina Rossa, imported by Ritrovo Selections from Italy. This flavor intensive salt adds a flare of truffle to any dish. Try sprinkling over potatoes, in scrambles, soups, pasta and anything in between. Truffle salt is a long term investment for your spice rack and tummy!
