Rapeseed oil is a brilliant kitchen staple. It has a higher smoke point than other oils, so when you use it for shallow frying or roasting you can achieve a golden crispy coating on your roast potatoes or fishcakes, for example. It’s also neutral in flavour, so won’t overpower the other ingredients in the dish. Give it a try this Christmas with these three festive recipes.
Adding a drizzle of rapeseed oil to your roasties will create the crispiest potatoes you’ll ever try. Transform your Christmas Day spuds and guests will be requesting them year after year! In this ultimate roast potato recipe we’ve added sage and red onion for a festive flavour twist.
Bubble and squeak is a Boxing Day classic. In this use-it-up fritter recipe, you can throw in leftover roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts and turkey.
