    I received a bottle of blood orange extra virgin olive oil and was wondering what ideas/recommendations anyone might have for using it? I might use it to make a vinaigrette for a salad (arugula, sauteed jumbo shrimp, orange segments)? Thanks for any suggestions!

    Olive oil cake. I've had success with Mark Bittman's recipe.

    I bet it would also work very well in Nick Malgieri's Orange Scented Olive Oil Cake -- one of my new favorite recipes.

    Hmm...
    I'm assuming that heat will destroy the flavor profile. So cold stuff:

    Olive oil gelato (I know there's a recipe around here somewhere)
    Garnishing a crudo of white fish with some chives, or dressing cold shredded poultry with cilantro.
    Drizzled on popcorn, perhaps?

    Not sure if you can still find them in the markets, but last week I got some fresh black mission figs, cut them in halves, and sprinkled with good quality chevre and drizzled with blood orange olive oil. Topped with shards of coarsely chopped toasted pistachios, flake of sea salt, and even one fresh thyme petal. Tasty bites indeed.

    Dinner tomorrow with the substitution of walnuts for the pistachios. Thank you.

    Very good as the added oil to a better-boxed brownie mix. People notice something is different but can't quite put their finger on it.
