E.V.O. Oil and Ivana Frank’s new recipe
Time to pick up olives in our olive grove in Maiolati Spontini, on the hills of Jesi: two hectares of Frantoio, Rosciola and Leccino olive varieties for our Terre di Ger E.V.O. Oil, a typical product of the Marches region in central Italy.
As soon as olive pressing is completed the new vintage will be ready and we’ll stay in touch to describe all its characteristics very soon. Meanwhile, let’s try a new recipe by Chef Ivana Frank of Bora Cooking System, a renowed German brand and Terre di Ger partner.

Add about two-thirds of the peas into a food processor together with the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic clove, mint (leaves only!), 4 tbsp of olive oil and a level tsp of salt and pepper. Puree. Stir the remaining peas into the finished houmous. Remove the lamb from the Tepan, cut into slices as desired and season with salt.
