I would be going down the sesame oil route I think. Or how about chili oil for a nice kick?Peter G | Souvlaki For The Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10589888584542143132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581903173281215081.post-18060303523371010692012-01-22T20:29:43.993-08:002012-01-22T20:29:43.993-08:00so many great oils out there! i&#39;ve recently been cooking with sesame oil and love it. would have never thought of almond oil for cookie but now i&#39;m inspired to make some cookies then roast some brussel sprouts :)Let Me Eat Cakehttp://www.theletmeeatcake.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581903173281215081.post-37209246887294926682012-01-22T13:31:46.865-08:002012-01-22T13:31:46.865-08:00Helen - Indeed, love brussel sprouts. I used to hate them as a kid, but that&#39;s because my mom would just steam them. Oooh, I forgot about walnut oil. Cannot be forgotten! Toasted sesame is great... I like to put it in hummus. Roasting it on veggies might be fun. Yeaaah, I haven&#39;t gotten into the peanut oil raw raw. I saw a top chef on peanuts and they made peanut hummus and peanut pesto... very interesting! Hope you are staying warm there in Canada.<br /><br />tasteofbeirut - Although I do swear my loyalty to olive oil, there are others out there that just pop.<br /><br />Magda - I think people are either for or against brussel sprouts. I won&#39;t hold it agains you. :PBanana Wonderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06145842146748797619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581903173281215081.post-34538979703160353112012-01-22T06:06:53.148-08:002012-01-22T06:06:53.148-08:00I don&#39;t think I have ever tried almond oil. I have to look for it, sounds interesting! <br />Nice-looking salad Anna and I love its simplicity, even though I&#39;m not a fan of Brussel sprouts :)Magdahttp://mylittleexpatkitchen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581903173281215081.post-12799367623783193072012-01-21T20:49:50.576-08:002012-01-21T20:49:50.576-08:00Great inspiration! Almond and sprouts is a perfect combo and a nice change from the usual olive oil.tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581903173281215081.post-76332013868043668402012-01-21T15:44:32.760-08:002012-01-21T15:44:32.760-08:00Mmm roasted Brussel sprouts are the bomb!<br /><br />I think nut oils are a great alternative to olive oil when you want to experiment with new flavours. I add walnut oil to my spinach or arugula salad. I&#39;ve never cooked with almond or hazelnut before but I plan to get some hazelnut soon to replace my walnut oil when it finishes. (fyi - I use cosmetic (not culinary) almond oil as a make up remover with great results!)<br /><br />Another aromatic oil I like using is toasted sesame seed. I mainly use it in Asian dishes like stir fries or in dipping sauce for salad rolls. <br /><br />Also, I hear that peanut oil is great for frying potatoes but I&#39;ve been too wary of peanut oil even though I do eat peanut butter :)Helennoreply@blogger.com
