A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be offered some Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil to try by Millies Leeds
(Millies are now including Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil in their Christmas 2013 hampers too
http://shop.milliesleeds.co.uk/collections/yorkshire-hampers )
There was Cold Pressed Yorkshire Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil with Black Pepper and Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Chilli
My daughter Helen also tried two different bottles and her recipes will be available soon too.
Oven roasted vegetables with Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with chilli
I love roasted vegetables and on three different occasions so far I have added a tablespoon of Yorkshire rapeseed oil with chilli and a tablespoon of original rapeseed oil to the tray of veg before roasting, which gave a lovely piqant mellow spicyness to the vegetables. If you like more chilli flavour, perhaps 2 tablespoon of the Chilli Oil would be good.
I loved the flavour!
On the different occasions, I used different mixtures of tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, parsnips, leeks, mushrooms, onions,red green and yellow peppers and whatever was in my fridge including cauliflower which I have found I love roasted.
During roasting, I removed the tray from the oven a few times and stirred the veg for an even coating of oil and even cooking.
These are pictures of my trays of veg
I also added half teaspoon of the Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Chilli to mashed potato to liven up my leftovers
Crushed butter beans with Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with chilli and
Crushed butter beans with Cold Pressed Yorkshire Virgin Rapeseed Oil with black pepper
Today I fancied hummous and as I hadn’t any I made my own concoction for lunch.
On finding I didn’t have chick peas in my larder but had a tin of butter beans, I used these instead.
I crushed half of the beans and added a teaspoon of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Chilli and a teaspoon of unflavoured Rapeseed oil and crushed the other half can of the beans with two teaspoons of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with black pepper. More oil can be added if neccesary to give the required spreading consistency and piquancy. I didn’t have any garlic either which would have been another lovely addition,
I found this worked well. It was very tasty and it’s worth you giving it a try.
Roasted Turkey breast with Cold Pressed Yorkshire Virgin Rapeseed Oil with black pepper
Whilst roasting my vegetables tonight, I aso roasted a turkey breast and added a tablespoon of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with black pepper before roasting and basted the turkey a few times during the cooking time. This Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with black pepper would also be good with steak.
I roasted both the vegetables and the turkey for 40 minutes but check and adjust the time when you are satisfied they are cooked to perfection!
I always roast more vegetables than I can eat for a meal so the leftovers are now in the fridge and I’ll have them for lunch tomorrow.
As it says on the bottle, Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil has a great taste, a high burn point and low food miles (well if you, like me, live in Yorkshire, that is!
I was offered these oils to try at no cost to me and the opinions above are my own.
