Lemon Croutons + Links We Love


One day this week for dinner I made a brothy orzo soup with chicken, herbs, and lemon.  It was delicious, but it wanted something crunchy to go on top. I was in the process of making croutons with a stale baguette (chop it up in squares, sautee in olive oil on medium-low until crispy and golden) when I remembered this lemon infused olive oil I had in my cupboard.  So I made lemon infused croutons.  WHOA.  So good. Amazing on soup as well as salad - the lemon is subtle, fresh, and delicious.  You can buy lemon infused olive oil (I got mine as a free sample from here - cute packaging!) or you can make your own.  Here's a recipe.

Some links we're loving this week:

Dulcie's new favorite last-minute supper.
This fresh dish, by Turntable Kitchen, which would be awesome with homemade ricotta! 
Is organic produce better? A science experiment done by a middle schooler.  Cool.

    I have Meyer lemon-infused olive oil and I love love love it. Whenever a dish needs just a little something, I reach for that. Those croutons look perfect!

      What other dishes have you used it for? I have more left and am looking for inspiration! It's so tasty but usually forget about using it...

    The olive oil from Nudo looks fantastic. I kind of want to get all of them. And your croutons with lemon. Sounds so delicious!

    Hey there Sarah, oh I bet those croutons were so good on soup. I often make garlicky croutons to top soups - and lemon oil would be a great variation. Yum!
    Hope Spring is being good to you.
