Tartar de atún rojo y encurtidos

¿Cómo preparar un tartar de atún? El tartar de atún es un plato delicioso, fresquito y perfecto para el verano. Hoy queremos proponerte una receta que combina el atún con encurtidos como las aceitunas, alcaparras y pepinillos.

Lo ideal es que la pieza de atún rojo la hayamos congelado previamente para evitar el riesgo de anisakis y el proceso de descongelación lo hagamos en el frigorífico durante unas 24 horas. Una vez lista la pieza de atún, realizaremos el aliño picando un diente de ajo y media cebolla muy fina. Añadiremos las aceitunas bien picaditas, junto con las alcaparras y los pepinillos a trozos pequeños. 

¿Cómo hay que cortar el atún para hacer el tartar? El secreto para cortar bien el atún para tartar es cortarlo en forma de daditos, no demasiado pequeños para que no se deshagan y notes en sabor y la textura del atún. Una vez cortado el atún lo reservamos.

Por otra parte, prepararemos la salsa que le dará un sabor espectacular a nuestro tartar, pondremos tres cucharadas soperas de salsa de soja, un poco de mostaza, un chorrito de aceite de sésamo, un poco de salsa Perrins y unas gotitas de tabasco.

Ha llegado el momento de mezclar los encurtidos con la salsa hasta que queden bien integrados. Añadiremos el atún y moveremos todo con cuidado para que los dados se mantengan enteros. Pasados unos minutos prepararemos una base sobre la que poner el tartar, bien puede ser un tomate cortado o aguacate cortados a dados, alguna ensalada de wakame con sésamo… cualquier opción es buena. Una vez lista la base, la aliñaremos con sal y aceite de oliva virgen extra y le añadiremos el tartar ayudándonos de un aro metálico que le dará la forma característica de este plato. 

Quiche de atún y aceitunas verdes

Preparar una quiche es una buena solución si tienes una reunión, es perfecta tanto para tomar fría como caliente. Esta receta es muy sencilla. Para la masa puedes hacer una masa casera o bien comprar la masa especial para quiche.

1. Precalentamos el horno a 180º
2. Preparamos la masa de la quiche sobre un molde para el horno.
3. Elaboramos el relleno con una mezcla de 100 grs de queso emmental troceado, 150 grs de Aceitunas Verdes Gordal sin hueso picadas, 4 huevos, 200 grs de atún natural escurrido y 200 grs de nata líquida.
4. Vertemos la mezcla en el molde con la masa y hornearemos durante 30 minutos.

Resulta una receta muy sabrosa, sencilla y que puedes preparar con antelación para llevarla a un encuentro con amigos, comida familiar, etc. Será un acierto! 

Pasta con atún y aceitunas

Hay cientos de formas de cocinar y de combinar la pasta, y las aceitunas son un ingrediente muy habitual en las ensaladas, pero hoy os traemos una receta con un plato caliente de espaguetis con atún y aceitunas.

1. Ponemos agua a hervir con un poco de sal
2. Cortamos cebolla en juliana y la ponemos a rehogar en una sartén con aceite de oliva virgen extra.
3. Laminamos el ajo y las aceitunas verdes (te recomendamos nuestras aceitunas gordal Montegil)
4. Ponemos los espaguettis a cocer si el agua está hirviendo con una hoja de laurel. Cocinamos al dente.
5. Cuando tengamos la cebolla doradita, la reservamos y en la misma sartén ponemos los ajos y después el atún. Seguidamente incorporamos las aceitunas y medio pimiento bien picadito.
6. Pasados unos minutos, incorporamos el tomate cortado a daditos y la cebolla que teníamos reservada. Dejamos unos minutos sofreír a fuego muy bajo.
7. Sirve la pasta y añade por encima la salsa que hemos elaborado con atún y aceitunas

Es un plato muy sencillo de pasta, pero que resulta muy sabroso, muy natural y muy nutritivo. Esta salsa combina con pasta larga (espaguetis, tagliatelle, linguine) como con pasta corta (macarrones, farfalle, fusilli…)

Under the hashtag #ElRetoDeLaAceituna more than 200 chefs join the challenge to look for a new concept and reinvent the table olive. Diego Guerrero, Pepe Rodríguez, Pepa Muñoz, Ricard Camarena or Ramón Freixa have been in charge of taking on the first challenge and starting this pyramid chain until reaching 200 chefs.

Manzanilla olive pesto with white prawn tartare and quail egg yolk; Queen olive gazpacho, herb and almond soup; manzanilla olive, artichoke and caviar exchange ... these are some of the creations of the chefs with whom #ElRetoDeLaAceituna has started.

This initiative began last November from Interaceituna (the Interprofessional table olive organization) whose main objective is to show the potential of a basic ingredient in the Mediterranean diet such as table olives. Show the world the gastronomic versatility of the olive beyond the appetizer and tapas, reinvent and start from scratch with a product that has many qualities and benefits for our diet and health.

Despite the great variety of olives that exist both in typology (verdial, gordal, hojiblanca, morona ...) and flavors, the olive has taken a place at the tables as an appetizer, as a side dish and in some occasions, merely decorative. The challenge is to make it a true protagonist, in the center of modern and traditional gastronomic creations. For this, the campaign begins with 5 renowned chefs and authentic national gastronomic figures such as Pepe Rodríguez, Ricard Camarena (National Gastronomy Award for Best Chef of the Year), Ramón Freixa, Pepa Muñoz and Diego Guerrero. They kicked off and challenged 50 chefs to put the focus on the olive, today there are more than 200 chefs who show their creations and olive reinvention in their social networks.

It will be next March when the 6 creations that will become the winning caps of the challenge will be selected. From there, more than 2,000 bars and restaurants will present these creations to the delight of all diners.

In Montegil we are convinced that #ElRetodelaAceituna will be a success and that it will give this product so natural, so healthy and so our place.

If you want to make your own challenge, in our blog and social networks you can find some ideas for #appetizers, #dinners, #events…. Do not forget to visit our shop shop.montegil.es and place your order online! We will take you home with the olives you like best and with the most original flavors.

Montegil Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the 2018/19 campaign is ready. An extra virgin olive oil of premium quality for the most select palates. We are very proud of the results of this campaign, in which we have cultivated, cared for and collected our olives in a very special way to obtain one of the best extra virgin oils on the market.

The Montegil Extra Virgin Oil of the 2018/2019 campaign is now available in our online store  and usual sale points. From the heart of Andalusia, we have managed to extract the purest juice of our olives. It is an extra virgin obtained from the morona olive variety, an oil with very special organoleptic characteristics. With delicate flavor but great personality, our extra virgin olive oil has already been recognized in previous years for its quality and characteristics, obtaining the silver medal in the international competition Olive Japan Awards.

An Extra Virgin fresh and rich in properties.

Extra virgin olive oil is a highly valued and valuable product, since in recent years the consumer is learning to value extra virgin qualities such as taste, acidity, the variety of the olive from which it comes, etc. Actually, it is common for users to value the extra virgin of new harvest, being able to appreciate that it is 100% freshly pressed olive juice.

An easy, comfortable and fast way to enjoy this new harvest extra virgin at home is through our online store, where you can place your order in a simple way and in a few days you can enjoy it at home. More information here.

Do you want to prepare an original appetizer? We propose this simple recipe, easy to prepare and delicious to taste: battered green olives. Although this recipe is very popular in Italy, in Spain we are discovering it now, and there are many restaurants and homes that opt for this original way of eating olives.

The origin of this dish takes us to the Italian region of Le Marche, and its original name is "Olive all'ascolana". Although there are different ways to make this delicious recipe with olives, the original and more traditional one has a filling of beef, turkey, pork and a variety of vegetables.

We are going to propose a different and simpler way to make coated or fried olives. For this purpose we propose to batter Montegil olives stuffed with cheese. You will get crunchy olives with irresistible cheese flavor inside.

Ingredients:

-             Montegil olives stuffed with cheese (Buy here)

-             White flour

-             Fine bread crumbs

-             Egg

-             Extra virgin olive oil for frying

The steps are very simple: drain the olives well, pass them first through white flour, then through the beaten egg and finally through the bread crumbs.

Deep fry the olives in hot extra virgin olive oil and enjoy this delicious olive appetizer!

It's time to organize and plan your Christmas dinners and meals. From Montegil we want to give you some simple Christmas recipes so that you have exquisite and easy-to-make appetizers.

The meals and dinners in the month of December multiply: meetings with friends, family reunions, meals with coworkers ....

We recommend 3 perfect snacks for this Christmas:

1. Sirloin tartar with olives: It is very easy to prepare, you just have to cut the veal meat, olives and a bit of chives in the form of cubes. We mix it very well with oil, salt, soy sauce, mustard and egg yolk. And ready to serve!

2. Tuna & olives niguiri. It is one of the appetizers with which you will surprise and you will leave all the diners in love with this recipe. Its preparation is also simple: cook the rice and give it the shape of niguiri; Place the red tuna in the form of a sheet over the rice and top with some chopped olives and a little oil with cayenne to add a little spice. Spectacular!

3. The Intense: it is a very simple skewer to make but with an intense flavor, as its name suggests. How do we prepare this appetizer?

Table olives are a natural food full of benefits for our health and recommended by specialists for their nutritional properties. Olives are part of our cuisine and our culture and they are the favorite appetizer of Spanish people for its great flavor and its multiple combinations.

Although until a few years ago, olives were prohibited in diets of people who wanted to lose weight, the latest studies recommend eating them habitually since it is a complete food and full of nutritious benefits. Olives contain essential oils omega-3 and omega-6, beneficial and necessary for the organism; they are a natural source of vitamins A and C, essential for our defenses; the contribution of thiamin is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system; and the mineral contribution (iron and sodium) help to balance our body levels. In addition, olives give us an extra fiber, ideal to purify our body.

Table olives are a source of benefits for our health, highlighting their power to prevent heart disease and their positive impact on the circulatory system. They are undoubtedly a natural regulator of cholesterol thanks to their contribution of unsaturated fats. Their contribution of iron make them recommendable for people with anemia.

Can I take olives if I am on a diet? As we said at the beginning, until recently this food was discouraged in diets to lose weight, but the latest studies contradict these beliefs and indicate that they are ideal as a satisfying food to calm the appetite in a healthy and tasty way. Its fiber content encourages adding them to our diet.

Table olives, like most healthy foods, may be eaten regularly but without excess, and the daily recommendation for an adult is 25 gr. of table olives a day, that is, about 7 units. Olives are a source of health, and from Aceitunas Montegil we offer you a range of flavors and combinations so you can enjoy them as you like them ... and now you know that they are a food full of benefits that will help you stay healthy.
