@privatechefrobin’s Fig + Olive Spread is a unique blend of sweet and savory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rich and jammy figs are mixed with perfectly salty olives and a dash of red chili flakes to create a beautifully balanced spread that makes a perfect addition to any cheeseboard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stop by one of our Santa Barbara locations to try it for yourself!
One of our favorite dishes from our September Newsletter was our Chicken Paillard served with a wonderful tomato sauce and a side salad. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paillard is a french term for a boneless piece of meat that has been pounded thin. This simple technique of pounding the meat has a dual benefit of tenderizing the meat and creating a thinner cut that cooks faster with less moisture loss. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tip: Avocado oil is best to execute this recipe. Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil so it will prevent the chicken from burning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Find the recipe here: https://recipes.ilfustino.com/2019/08/23/chicken-paillard/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Clickable recipe link in our bio.

Heirloom tomatoes in August... revolutionary we know, but we are going to keep drizzling our Blackberry Balsamic over as many of them as we can before the season ends. 🍅
TGIF! We’re celebrating our new store opening (inside @chocolatsducalibressansb) and the fact that it’s Friday with one of our favorite @bonappetitmag recipes, we topped this Basque Burnt Cheesecake with raspberries and our Chocolate Balsamic to add a tangy finish to this decadent recipe.
