Walnut Oil

[Sararwelch]

I bought some roasted walnut oil and I really like it. So far I've only used it for salad dressing - how else do you use it?

I've tossed it with green beans and toasted walnuts, very good.

It makes an elegant vinaigrette. Keep it in the fridge. It can go rancid pretty quick.

I would definitely keep it in the refrigerator and it really makes a tasty vinaigrette

Saute some onions & garlic; add a little brown sugar and toasted walnuts - cook just till sugar melts.
Remove from heat and toss in some feta cheese.
Mix with farfalle and walnut oil. Delicious.

Very rich, very delicious. I have a similar recipe to the one above and yes, all that garlic is a good idea. I used less the first time I made it and could hardly taste it. If you're feeling really extravagant, use all walnut oil rather than half olive oil. If you do use olive oil, use a mild-flavoured one so that it doesn't overwhelm the walnut oil. I don't use parsley, as given in this recipe, for the same reason.

You could probably find quite a few uses for it in baking. Maybe add a bit to your banana nut bread or something like that.

Mix with a little raspberry vinegar and dress cooked sliced beetroot - season and refrigerate overnight.
