Cooking with Canola Oil

The name “Canola” is a contraction of “Canadian” and “ola”, which means oil. Canola oil is clear, with little colour. It is lower in saturated fat than any other oil and contains cholesterol lowering Omega-3 fatty acids. I like to use it for baking and stir frying.

Here are recipes I’ve developed for the Canola Council of Canada:

Tofu Nuggets with Kale

Broccoli Black Bean Salad

Cranberry Lentil Soup

Curried Tofu in Pita Bread

Penne with Chickpeas, Spinach and Roasted Asparagus

Honey Cake
