The Golden Chile Club
It is Gorji Gourmet’s fourth Golden Chile Award. The first for Puttanesca and three for Arrabiata Diavolo.
“Taste, texture and flavor are my focal point. It is gratifying to be granted rewards of this magnitude, especially when it is blind-judging,” says Gorji.
Winning Recipes
Chef Gorji developed the Gorji Gourmet Foods line from recipes he created and regularly cooks with in his kitchen at Gorji restaurant. Gorji Gourmet Foods help home cooks easily make gourmet tasting dishes without hours of preparation.
- Pomodoro: clean tasting and vibrant, but not hot. It is a flavorful base on pizzas, pastas and any recipe using tomato sauce.
- Puttanesca: perfect on any tomato sauce recipe calling for extra “zing.”
- Arrabiata Diavolo: the spiciest. It adds zesty heat to pasta, pizza, seafood, burgers, bloody marys and wherever the devil makes you do it!
- Dipping Oil & Marinade: olive oil that is perfect as a dipping oil or as a marinade for all kinds of meats, fish, poultry and vegetables. Chef Gorji uses this exclusively in his kitchen at Gorji.
- Pomegranate Vinaigrette: a lively salad dressing made with olive oil. Ideal for salads, as a light sauce for meats of all kinds, or as a marinade.
- Hummus: No tahini in Chef Gorji’s hummus! This is the same recipe he makes for the mezze appetizer part of the new mediterranean cuisine offerings at Gorji Restaurant.
- Caesar Dressing: Made traditionally with egg yolk and marinated white Spanish anchovies. Mix with any greens for salads and use as a spread on sandwiches too.
- Spicy Remoulade: A spicy condiment for pork chops, seafood dishes, sandwiches as well as deviled eggs.
All Gorji Gourmet Foods have no added sugar or preservatives.
They can be purchased at Gorji restaurant, Whole Foods, Jimmy’s Food Store and Royal Blue Grocery in the Dallas area. They are available online at Amazon and GorjiGourmet.com.
