Last Christmas someone gave me a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil flavoured with orange. Now most of the gifts I get are food based as everyone knows I love cooking. All year it's been sat there but I just haven't a clue what to do with it. I suspect it's one of those things firms bring out as a gift for foodies with no real purpose other than sounding good. I suppose you could flavour sweet pastry with it for something like mince pies or a lemon tart but I reckon orange zest would do a better job.

Sooooo, unless any of you food guru's can come up with a decent suggestion before tommorow it's going where my instincts tell me.....in the bin!

Some ideas.

http://www.stonehouseoliveoil.com/re...ex.html#orange
A Brownie recipe here - http://www.oliveoilsource.com/recipes.htm

Plus more from this google search -http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=orange+olive+oil+recipes&btnG=Search&meta=

It looks like salads and sweets are good.

How about a Duck salad? I'm sure I saw one on TV this week so it should be on BBC Food or UKTV Food website.

Chuck it over a salad along with some balsamic vinegar.

I would definitely use it on a salad, maybe add some orange/tangerine/satsuma segments too, make it a citrussy summery salad.

All you need is a barbie and some prawns to go with that salad and you'd be laughing like a big fat kookaburra!!
