INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

I want to share a little kitchen adventure that didn’t go as planned. Ever tried infusing oil with sumach? I did, hoping for a tangy, vibrant kick, but it turns out, sumach just doesn’t impart its flavor or color into oil. While it’s a bummer, it’s all part of the cooking journey. Here’s an honest review of this failed sumach oil experiment, because not every recipe is a hit, and that’s totally okay!

How to serve
Even though the sumach oil experiment didn’t work out, don’t let that stop you from enjoying sumach in other ways. Sprinkle it directly onto your salads, grilled meats, or roasted veggies for that zesty, citrusy punch. Mix it into yogurt for a tangy dip, or use it as a seasoning in marinades and dressings. There are plenty of ways to enjoy sumach without trying to infuse it into oil. Maybe try my delicous recipe for this Spicy Turkish Vegetable Spread (Ezme).

How to store
Since the sumach oil experiment wasn’t a success, let’s focus on storing your sumach spice. Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, sumach will stay fresh and flavorful for up to a year. Remember to use it generously in your dishes for that delightful tangy twist!

ABOUT THE RECIPE

When you’re craving a taste of the tropics but want something subtle and sophisticated, this mango-infused oil is the perfect addition to your kitchen. It’s like capturing the essence of a sunny day in a bottle – bright, fresh, and slightly sweet. Whether you’re drizzling it over a salad or adding a dash to grilled veggies, this oil brings a gentle mango touch that’s not overpowering but oh-so-delightful.

How to serve
This mango oil is your go-to for adding a hint of summer to just about anything. Try drizzling it over a fresh spinach or arugula salad for a light, fruity kick. It’s also fantastic as a finishing touch on grilled seafood, where its subtle sweetness complements the smoky flavors. Or, for a quick and easy twist, toss it with pasta or use it as a dip for crusty bread—simple yet satisfying. I like to incorporate some of the oil into my Cajun Shrimp with Honey Glaze & Cheesy Polenta.

How to store
To keep the vibrant flavor of your mango oil fresh, store it in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and it’ll stay good for 1-2 weeks.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150 grams fresh mango
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

 

  1. Peel the mango and cut the flesh into large chunks. Put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick consistency and no pieces of mango 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 20 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.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second fine mesh sieve, which you before equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe more 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

So, I decided to try something new and experiment with a beetroot-infused oil, thinking it would add some earthy flavor and color to my dishes. Unfortunately, this one’s a complete miss. Despite the effort, the oil ended up adding neither taste nor color to anything I tried it with. I’m sharing this recipe to save you the trouble – sometimes even the most promising ideas just don’t work out.

How to serve
Honestly, there’s not much to serve here. The beetroot-infused oil didn’t bring anything to the table – no flavor, no color, nothing. If you’re curious and still want to try it, you might drizzle it over a salad or some veggies, but don’t expect it to make a difference. It’s more of a novelty than something that’ll enhance your meals. If anything, it’s a reminder that not every kitchen experiment turns out as expected. But what is worth trying is this Caramelized Bacon Fried Goat Cheese Salad with Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. 

How to store
If you do make this beetroot-infused oil, it can be stored in a cool, dark place like your pantry or a cabinet, just like any other homemade oil.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

I tried making a homemade oil infused with blueberries, dreaming of a burst of berry flavor. But let me save you the trouble – blueberries don’t share their taste or color with oil, no matter how hard you try. What I ended up with was a perfectly clear, flavorless oil that’s still fun to make but won’t change your dish in any noticeable way. It’s a lesson in kitchen experiments: sometimes they don’t turn out as planned!

How to serve
Since this oil didn’t pick up any blueberry flavor, it’s really just a basic oil now. Use it as you would any other neutral oil in your kitchen – great for light salad dressings or as a cooking base. While it won’t add any extra taste, it can still serve as a conversation starter at the table. People will definitely be curious about your failed attempt at infusing it with berry goodness! But if you still want to experience the ultimate blueberry flavor then try out my Poppyseed Crepe with Lemon Pastry Cream & Blueberry Meringue.

How to store
Store this plain oil in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. Treat it like any other cooking oil, and it should stay fresh for about two weeks. Even though it’s not bursting with flavor, it’s still good for general kitchen use, so don’t let it go to waste!
