CARROT PATCH MARBLE DYED EGGS TULIP TOAST

CARROT PATCH
Are you ready for the cutest Easter appetizer that kids (and adults) will love?

Ingredients
Cento Fine Sicilian Sea Salt, to taste
Cento Ground Black Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Water
1/2 Lemon, juiced
4 tbsp Cento Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 Ice Cubes
1/2 cup Tahini
1 jar Cento Peeled Lupini Beans (12.7 oz), drained
1 small bag Baby Carrots
1 bunch Curly Parsley

Directions
Start by adding lupini beans to the food processor. Pulse the beans until they are
roughly ground. Add tahini and pulse until it is blended. Next, add ice cubes and
pulse until they are absorbed. Set the food processor to continuously blend on a
low setting and slowly add extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Add water until
the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To
serve, spoon the lupini bean hummus into the washed pots. Pierce a hole in the
baby carrots and carefully push a trimmed sprig of fresh parsley into the hole to
resemble a carrot stem. Place carrots into the terracotta pots until desired
effect is achieved. Serves 4-6 depending on the pot size you use. Enjoy!

MARBLE DYED EGGS

Marble dyed eggs are a stunning and unique twist on traditional Easter eggs.

Ingredients
Cento Classico Olive Oil
Eggs
Food Coloring
White Vinegar
Hot Water

Directions
To marbleize your eggs, start by dyeing them a solid color. In a small drinking
glass, mix hot water, food coloring, and vinegar. Submerge an egg in the colored
water and let it sit for a few minutes. Once you're happy with the color, let the
egg dry on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes. Repeat this process with all
your eggs. To marbleize the eggs, fill a small container with water, add a darker
color than the solid color of your egg, and olive oil. Gently stir to create swirls
and bubbles on top of the water. Place a colored egg into the oily water, roll it
around, and hold it in place for a few seconds to absorb some of the color.
Remove your marbled egg and place it on a drying rack. The longer you roll
your egg around in the oil, the more marbled it will be.

Ingredients

Directions
To make the pizza, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and roll out the pizza
dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface. Place the dough on a pizza
pan or baking sheet, spread tomato sauce evenly over it, leaving some space
around the edges. Add mozzarella balls in a flower shape and place a yellow
cherry tomato in the center. Sprinkle basil leaves over the sauce. Bake the pizza
for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let
the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
