🍑🔥 COOKING WITH ZI OLIVE IS BACK! 🔥🍑
This month, we’re turning up the flavor with a sweet, tangy, savory Balsamic Peach Barbecue Sauce made with some of our Zi Olive favorites! 🌶️🫒
Our delicious homemade BBQ sauce features:
🫒 Zi Olive Garlic Chili Olive Oil — bringing flavorful garlic, a little heat, and the goodness of extra virgin olive oil
🍑 Zi Olive White Peach Balsamic Vinegar — adding bright, fruity sweetness and tang
🥫 Zi Olive Gourmet Balsamic Worcestershire Sauce — for that rich, savory, umami-packed finish
Why make your own BBQ sauce? ❤️
Making barbecue sauce at home gives you more control over what goes into it. You can reduce added sugar, skip unnecessary preservatives and tailor the sweetness, spice, and ingredients to your taste. Plus, olive oil provides heart-friendly unsaturated fats, while balsamic vinegar adds plenty of flavor without needing as much sugar, salt, or heavy ingredients.
And the best part? This sauce is incredibly versatile! 🤤
🍗 Brush it onto grilled chicken
🍖 Glaze ribs or pork
🍔 Slather it on burgers or sandwiches
🌱 Drizzle over grilled vegetables
🥔 Use it as a dipping sauce for roasted potatoes or sweet potato fries
🍤 Try it as a glaze for shrimp
🌽 Brush it onto grilled corn or other summer vegetables
