Walnut Oil

gailanng's Note:

So much cheaper than store bought. A delicately flavored oil usually used to infuse flavor on already cooked food. There are quite a few recipes on Zaar using Walnut Oil.

Now the little wheels are working in my head and wondering if I can make peanut oil as well using this method. I cannot even get my hands on walnut oil here in the land of Dracula so I'm even more thankful for this. Very flavorful and oh so easy. Made for Zwt 6.

This is super! Infusing the walnut flavor into (in my case) canola oil makes a simply delicious, healthier and way less expensive version of pure walnut oil. This in a salad of watercress, bleu cheese, roasted beets--heaven! And it gave fabulous flavor to Wicked's Classic Walnut Boule (#349732). Many thanks for sharing this!

i cut this in half, and it was delicious. I used it on some salad, it gave a lovely lift to it.
