Olive Oil Baking
Quick Recipes Using Olive Oil
Listed below are some easy-to-cook recipes that get a great flavour due to the use of olive oil.
- Grill or toast thick slices of crusty bread, rub with garlic or very ripe tomato and drizzle with olive oil.
- Drizzle olive oil on baked potatoes and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs.
- Make a quick, easy salad dressing or marinade. Just whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste and perhaps chopped fresh herbs, garlic or onion.
- Bake low calorie potato chips the easy way. Cut unpeeled potatoes into thick slices and arrange them in one layer on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and bake in a preheated 230 degree Celsius oven for 12-15 minutes until crisp.
- Brush sliced vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini and red capsicum, with a full flavoured olive oil, season and sprinkle with fresh herbs – thyme, oregano, parsley or rosemary – and bake in a preheated 180 degree Celsius oven until tender.
- Use light flavoured olive oil in scone and waffle batter. It is also very good in fruit cakes and fruit muffins.
- Toss hot or cold vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Keep a cruet of fresh olive oil on your dining table to sprinkle vegetables, soups, stews and pasta dishes for added flavour.
- Make a sauce with olive oil. Boil chicken, veal or fish stock and thicken it by adding a steady stream of olive oil; simmer and season with 2-3 tablespoons of wine, pepper and fresh herbs.
- Pop corn in olive oil and drizzle some extra olive oil over the top.
