Vegetable oil is used in cooking all the time. These are not only salads with vegetable oil, but also any toasts for sauces, soups, second courses. Vegetable oil is also added to the yeast dough. Pancakes, fritters and pies are baked in vegetable oil.
The ideal oil for cooking and baking is coconut oil, even though it is unrefined. Feel free to grease a baking sheet or frying pan and even fry steaks.
Remember that 1 tablespoon of oil contains 120 kcal. Measure the oil with spoons, do not pour from the bottle. I recommend using sprays.
If you want to get the most out of the oils you use, combine 2-3 types, for example, linseed and olive oil for salads and avocado oil for baking. Diversity is the key point.
Vegetable oil is obtained when it is squeezed from the fruits, roots, seeds, stems of suitable plants. In principle, you can squeeze oil from almost any plant.
Most of the vegetable oil is triglycerides. Their content in the product is almost 97 percent. The remaining three percent are phosphatides, lipochromes, waxes, fatty acids, vitamins and tocopherols. In addition, these three percent of vegetable oil also contains substances that are responsible for the taste and color of the product.
Vegetable oil is divided into refined and unrefined. Unrefined sunflower oil is an oil with a richer aroma and taste. Since vegetable oil is made from plants, there can be no cholesterol in it by default, since cholesterol is a substance of animal origin.
My variation on the eternal theme “Overseas eggplant caviar”. There was a time when I was just learning to cook and I came up with this recipe out of ignorance that eggplants should be baked properly, and then crushed with a blender or meat grinder… But surprisingly, the result exceeded all expectations, and since then this variation of caviar is always on my table!
I suggest baking a pie with trout and mashed potatoes. The fish can be changed depending on what is at your disposal, from cod to halibut, even pollock looks great here. It’s amazing.
A few years ago I took this recipe from the book “recipes for a slow cooker”. The potatoes are very tender, with a subtle aroma of fried potatoes. Interesting? Come visit me.
