FOR 250ml (1 CUP)

RADISH OIL

  • 150g red radish (5.5 oz)
  • 250ml neutral cooking oil (1 cup)
Radish Oil
}

ACTIVE: –

PASSIVE: –

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment
  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl into which the medium saucepan fits
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • fine sieve
  • sealable container
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter
  • none
}

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. Cut both ends off the radish. Wash and dry the radishes very thoroughly and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes light pink and no pieces of red radish are longer visible.

2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 100°-101°C (214°-215°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 20 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the almost translucent oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.

3. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.

4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.

5. Then, rinse the strainer and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.

6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in there. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

COOKING

1. Put the bell pepper pieces into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick consistency and no pieces of bell pepper are longer visible.

2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 40-45 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This long cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the bright yellow oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.

3. At the end of the cooking process, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.

4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.

5. Then, rinse the strainer and dry it off well and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.

6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 to 2 hours. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 30 min
  • Yield: 6 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • peeler
  • grater
  • small pot
  • measuring cup
  • juicer (or by hand)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 orange
  • 200 milliliter port wine
  • 1 shallot
  • 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 100 grams fresh cranberries
  • 200 grams redcurrant jelly
  • salt & finely grated black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash and dry the lemon and orange. Peel 3–4 strips from each using a peeler, then slice the peels into fine julienne strips. Juice the orange, aiming for about 100 ml (3 fl. oz.) of juice.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and simmer the julienne strips for 5 minutes to soften and reduce their bitterness. Drain and set aside.
  3. Finely dice the shallot and grate the ginger directly into the saucepan. Add the port wine, orange juice, mustard, and cranberries. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cranberries soften and the liquid reduces.
  4. Next, stir in the redcurrant jelly and continue simmering for another 6–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and finely ground pepper to taste.
  5. Finally, fold the julienne strips into the sauce and let it cool. The sauce will thicken further as it cools and can be reheated anytime for serving.
