Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small pot
  • jar with a screw-top lid

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pink grapefruits
  • 12 tbsp oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp cardamon, ground
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 50 milliliters apple cider vinegar

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Rinse a screw-top jar with boiling water and let it drain. Set aside until the chutney is ready to be poured in. The jar should be large enough to hold about 200g.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Peel the grapefruits and remove the flesh, making sure to get rid of all the bitter white skin. Cut the fruit segments into small pieces, separating as much of the transparent skin as possible. Set aside.
  2. Peel the onion and ginger. Dice the onion into small pieces and finely chop or grate the ginger. Sauté both with a cinnamon stick and 1 tsp ground cardamom in a pot with 1-2 tbsp of oil over medium heat until the onion softens and the spices become fragrant. Meanwhile, chop the fresh chili pepper into small pieces and add it to the pot.
  3. Next, add the brown sugar to the pot and bring it to a low boil until the sugar melts.
  4. Now, add the grapefruit pieces, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the pot, stirring well. Let everything simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until it starts to thicken. Adjust seasoning to taste, remove the cinnamon stick, and transfer the chutney to the jar. Seal and allow it to cool completely.

Pink Grapefruit Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 60 min
  • Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pink grapefruit
  • 250 milliliters avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Zest the grapefruit, making sure no white pith is attached. Separate the grapefruit flesh from the white skin. Discard the white skin, and add the zest and flesh to the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until only tiny pieces of the grapefruit are visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  6. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  7. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Okay, I had a wild idea: what if we could turn oil into a vibrant blue using spirulina? Spoiler alert – it didn’t quite work as planned! I was hoping for this gorgeous blue hue to add some pizzazz to my dishes, but the oil stayed its original color. Sometimes kitchen experiments don’t go as expected, but that’s all part of the fun, right? Even if the visual didn’t come through, it was still a cool experience to try something new.

How to serve
Even though the oil didn’t turn blue, it’s still perfect for using in your regular dishes. The lack of color doesn’t take away from the creativity and general flavor oil brings. So, serve it up as a tasty, superfood-inspired finishing touch, even if it didn’t become the vibrant blue we imagined! But if you really want to experience the vibrant color of blue spirulina powder, you’ve got to try it in these White Chocolate Cookies with Blue Spirulina Butter Cream Frosting!

How to store
Store your spirulina oil in a clean glass bottle, and keep it in a cool, dark place like your pantry. It’ll stay fresh for about two weeks.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150 grams hokkaido pumpkin
  • 250 milliliters oil

Instructions

  1. Chop the pumpkin in half and scrape out all the seeds. Cut the flesh into coarse pieces and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick consistency and no coarse pieces of pumpkin 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 30 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned. The cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate. 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 mesh 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 almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the first fine mesh sieve to catch the coarse particle.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

I’m all about trying out new things in the kitchen, and dragonfruit oil was one of my latest experiments! It started out as a colorful, vibrant idea, but it didn’t exactly go as planned. The gorgeous pink hue didn’t carry over into the oil, and unfortunately, neither did the flavor. But hey, that’s part of the fun in cooking, right? Even though it didn’t turn out as expected, it’s still worth giving it a shot just for the experience.

How to serve
Even though this dragonfruit oil didn’t retain any flavor or color, you can still use it as you would any regular cooking oil. It’s great for sautéing or as a base for salad dressings if you’re looking for something light. Just don’t expect any fruity notes! If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle it over a salad for some extra shine, or keep it in a pretty bottle for kitchen decor — it’s a conversation starter for sure. However, if you’re really on the hunt for a pop of pink at your table, I’ve got just the thing! Check out these fun and vibrant vanilla cupcakes with pink dragonfruit frosting that’ll definitely steal the spotlight.

How to store
Store your dragonfruit oil in a cool, dark place, just like any other oil, to keep it fresh. It should last for a few weeks, depending on the oil base used. Keep it sealed tightly to avoid any off flavors!
