Lemon Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Coat the parchment with cooking spray.
• Thinly slice 2 lemons and remove the seeds; set aside for topping. Grate the zest of 2 lemons. Squeeze enough of the lemons to measure 1/2 cup juice.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat 1 cup granulated sugar, the olive oil, eggs, lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon juice and the vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 40 minutes in the pan, then remove to the rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Put the lemon slices in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then drain. Return the lemon slices to the saucepan and repeat the boiling process two more times. Return the lemon slices to the saucepan and add 1 cup water, the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid gently simmers; cook until the liquid is syrupy and the lemon slices are tender and translucent, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl until smooth, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice if the glaze is too thick. Spoon the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Remove the candied lemon slices from the syrup, letting the excess drip back into the saucepan. Arrange on top of the cake.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic cloves, Kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes.
• Cook pasta and reserve 1/4 cup (60mL) pasta water.
• Drain and toss pasta with olive oil mixture and reserved pasta water.
• Toss with basil and Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper.
• Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Steps:

• Combine oil and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Set over low heat, and cook very gently to infuse oil with lemon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a glass measuring cup.
• Set the cup on a pie plate in the middle of the oven.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees and leave oil for 1 hour and 40 minutes, checking temperature occasionally with a candy thermometer.
• When done (temperature should be 250 degrees F), remove to rack to cool.
• Line a small strainer with a coffee filter that is moistened with a small amount of oil.
• Strain the oil through the filter into a hot, clean glass container.
• Cover and store in refrigerator for up to one month.
