In this blog, we revisit ten delicious dishes one can think of using cold-pressed oils to make and just how such cold-pressed oils elevate regular recipes into mouth-watering dishes.
- Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil Fried Rice:
Fried rice is a versatile meal that can readily include a variety of ingredients and flavours. Rice with rich, nutty flavour from cold-pressed groundnut oil pairs wonderfully with veggies, eggs, and meats. This is one of those oils that are very good for high heat and brings an overall sense into the dish, and thus is worth trying for any meal.
- Cold-Pressed Olive Oil Pasta Salad:
Pasta salad is the best served in hot seasons or even as a side dish. When used in pasta salads, cold-pressed olive oil's vibrant fruity flavour truly brings out the freshness of veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. Toss pasta and veggies with cold-pressed oil; season with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. This makes a tasty and healthful dinner.
- Cold-pressed Coconut Oil Curry:
In the case of curries, coconut oil itself contains a unique flavour. Cold-pressed coconut oil retains more of its natural flavour and nutrients and provides a strong aromatic base to which your curry will cook. Saute onions, garlic, and spices in this oil, then fill with your choice of vegetables, meats, or lentils. It's a final product of creamy, satisfyingly filling flavour and great nutrition.
- Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil Stir Fry:
Stir-fries, such as this one made with cold-pressed sesame oil, are quick and simple to prepare but can be incredibly flavourful and nutritious. When stir-frying veggies, tofu, or chicken, cold-pressed oil adds a deep, nutty taste. It's ideal for this kind of high-heat cooking because of its high smoke point. Toss your preferred vegetables and protein into this delectable oil for a quick and nutritious supper.
- Sunflower Oil-Cold Pressed Roasted Vegetables:
The inherent sweetness of the veggies is enhanced by roasting and is further enhanced by drenching them in cold-pressed sunflower oil. Light and mild nutty, just perfect: it is ideal for roasting. Just drizzle cold-pressed sunflower oil over some favourite vegetables, sprinkle with herbs and spices, and roast to golden and tender for a delightful side dish.
- Smoothie Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil:
Cold-pressed flaxseed oil is a great addition to smoothie recipes for a wholesome and nutrient-dense breakfast or a cool snack. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are heart-friendly, are abundant in cold-pressed flaxseed oil. The subtle nutty taste of flaxseed oil complements bananas, berries, and apples nicely. To make a cool, healthful smoothie, simply add your preferred fruits, combine with almond milk or yoghurt, and then stir in one tablespoon of cold-pressed flaxseed oil.
- Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil Fish Fry:
Cold-pressed mustard oil has remained a traditional favourite for frying fish in most Indian households. This pungency gives the fish its peculiar taste that makes it more palatable and mixes with the flavours. Marinate fish in turmeric, salt, and a few drops of cold-pressed mustard oil, and then deep fry until crispy. Definitely a hit at your Sunday family dinner.
- Cold-Pressed Avocado Oil Guacamole:
Guacamole is a widely consumed dip that is made using avocado. To make it taste better, add some cold-pressed avocado oil. This oil is ideal for guacamole since it is mild and has a hint of butter flavour. Mash the ripe avocados with the cold-pressed avocado oil, then add the lime juice, sliced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and salt to make a creamy and delectable dip.
- Cold-Pressed Pumpkin Seed Oil Salad Dressing:
Pumpkin seed oil is prized for its intense, nutty flavour as well as its high nutritional content. It has a rich green hue. Because of this, it tastes even better when used as a foundation for salad dressings, giving your greens a unique flavour. Combine cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, and a small amount of salt and pepper to create a delectable homemade dressing.
