Rapeseed oil (also known as canola oil in the US) has a vast amount of uses ranging from enhancing a light salad dressing, to a wonderful replacement for butter in cakes and pastries. This is why here at Larchwood Foods, one of the UK’s leading rapeseed oil suppliers, we’ve put together a list of what we think are the 5 best rapeseed oil recipes we’ve experienced yet. Each of these recipes highlight the benefits of rapeseed oil in the variety of its uses and intensify why rapeseed oil is the best of the organic oils. Be it healthy meals or naughty snacks, we’ve got it all. In no particular order:
- Asparagus, halloumi and rapeseed oil salad – a lovely spring salad with a vibrant mix of crisp asparagus, grilled halloumi cheese, and a drizzle of rapeseed oil.
- Chocolate and Cranberry Brownies – a luscious treat which uses rapeseed oil as a light replacement to butter. Replace the cranberries with any other dried fruit for that personalised touch. For an even healthier option the flour can be replaced with self-raising wholemeal flour.
- Beer battered fish and chips – we all love a classic British recipe, especially when it uses rapeseed oil!
- Light Wholewheat Spaghetti Carbonara – this wonderful Italian recipe uses rapeseed oil to enhance its flavour along with wholemeal spaghetti for that extra healthy touch.
- Crayfish Scotch egg with wild garlic mayonnaise – an absolutely superb recipe which may require a fair amount of time to prepare and cook, but is well worth the effort. Rapeseed oil is used for a light healthy way to thicken the mayonnaise and add flavour.
We truly believe rapeseed oil is the best vegetable oil available, thanks to its diverse uses and range of healthy benefits. Be sure to get in touch if you know of any other rapeseed oil recipes or have any thoughts on the ones above!
