Can Olive Oil Be Used For Cooking? - Yahoo Recipe Search
Food.comI love the lemon olives I can buy at Central Market in Shoreline, just north of Seattle. This recipe from Fine Cooking, #55 has more flavors involved but looks quite similar. Use oil- or brine-packed olives. (The lemons are for zest only, so after zesting, juice the lemons and save the juice for another use.)Food.comFor a variation, you can use orange peel for some of the olives. The cooking time is the marinating time. From "The Art of Spanish Cooking."AllrecipesThis is a basic garlic oil that can be used as a dipping sauce for bread, the oil half of an Italian vinaigrette, or as the base for Mediterranean-style cooking. If you use it for the latter, though, you may want to omit the herbs and add the extra-virgin olive oil unless your pan is non-stick or you do not mind burned little flecks of oregano and parsley.AllrecipesThis Filipino dish is rich in flavor due to the slow cooking of the beef with all the ingredients. The beef can be cooked to tenderness a day before, so you can skim off the fat. Do not use pressure cooker for this dish. This is a very versatile dish. It can be served with rice, bread or boiled potatoes.YummlyBring a bit of Spain to the lunch or dinner table with this recipe for homemade gazpacho. Made with a mixture of tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, cucumber, and spices this soup is full of refreshing flavor that'll keep you cool and satisfied on hot summer days. ## Cold Soup If you've never made authentic Spanish gazpacho, you should know that a good gazpacho recipe is much than just cold soup, it's a no-cook warm-weather essential that takes no time to prep. It originated in Andalusia along Spain's Costa del Sol where it gets searingly hot in the summer, making cold soup a welcome meal. Though some people might call it pureed salad, it's much more delicious than what that description might bring to mind. ## All About The Bread At first glance, it just looks like tomato juice, but gazpacho is exponentially better and has more nuanced summer flavors than a regular ol' tomato soup. Peppers, cucumbers, onion, garlic cloves, and zucchini go into a food processor as whole vegetables and come out a refreshing summer soup, but the secret to making gazpacho a superlative soup is bread. It's used to thicken the tomato puree, but if you use a flavorful crusty baguette (or even sourdough bread), it'll add flavor as well as body. It sounds weird and it's not ideal for low-carb and keto diets, but the flavor and texture the bread lends to the soup really does turn this soup into a bowl full of joy. ## Playing With Flavor This is a basic gazpacho recipe, but that only means there's room to play with flavor. __Olive oil:__ For flavor, this recipe calls for olive oil. If you're a connoisseur, this is a good place to use your favorite extra-virgin olive oil -- because the soup is not heated, the flavor of the oil won't change. __Vegetables:__ Bell peppers and cucumbers make this soup refreshing, but you can use different types of peppers to make the flavor more interesting. Green peppers are slightly bitter but red peppers are subtly sweet and can add vibrancy to the red of the tomatoes. This recipe also calls for fresh basil, which you can easily leave off. __Spices:__ Garlic is a prominent flavor in gazpacho, but you can balance it out with some heat from a sprinkling of cayenne pepper, or make it smoky with a little ground cumin. __Vinegar:__ If all you have on hand is plain white vinegar, you can make a great gazpacho, but other vinegars can elevate this soup. Sherry vinegar adds some sweetness, while a red wine vinegar would add little bit more acidity. ## Get Blending This is an easy, healthy recipe that any level of cook can master. It can easily be made for dinner tonight and tastes even better the next day for lunch. Whenever you decide to make it, it won't be the last time.AllrecipesDelicious, relatively healthy meatloaf that can be left to cook all day or for a few hours. You can use ground turkey, and or add diced vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers and zucchini, for an even healthier version...or chiles for a nice spicy kick. Makes great leftovers for sandwiches.Food.comI always poached chicken when I needed cooked for a recipe -- and I never liked the way it came out. I was watching Ina's show on the Food Network last weekend and this is how she cooks her chicken for recipes. I tried it and it was the most moist chicken I have ever had. I used it in chicken noodle soup -- YUM!!! The recipe can be increased or decreased depending on how much cooked chicken you need. UPDATE 7/31/07 -- I tried this method on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it worked great -- I baked for about 35 minutes and it was cooked perfectly!YummlyBruschetta is a beautiful and easy-to-cook Italian snack. The best suitable bread for bruschetta is chiabatta, but you can also use a fresh baguette or white bread. It’s better for the recipe to fry bread on a dry frying pan or in an oven. There are many fillings for bruschetta: tomatoes, olives, ham, mushrooms, shrimps and cheese. Today on the menu is a fish bruschetta: a recipe with salmon, tomatoes and basil. Such a delicious and appetizing snack is ideal for a cup of coffee or a glass of white wine.

Detailed recipes are available on the site.Food.comWith only three ingredients salt, potatoes and extra virgin olive oil, and you are rewarded with a divinely creamy and buttery dish of mashed potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes have a naturally unique buttery flavor with no butter added! Ordinary salt is one of the ingredients here. Use any salt you like, but (imo) great salt will give even more great flavor! I can't wait to try this with different varieties of salt to discover the differences. I think this recipe leaves lots of room for experimenting with flavored or infused extra virgin olive oil and various salts. Experimenting is half the fun! Let me know what you use please. I am so interested! I do not know much about Kosher or Jewish food and cooking but I think these might even work well there as well. Discovered in Gourmet Magazine, Paris! 9/2008.
