41 Recipes That Celebrate Olive Oil
Olive oil is more than just what you slosh in a pan before you start cooking. In these recipes, you'll see olive oil work its magic, whether it’s adding flavor to slow-cooked vegetables or offering a savory side to creamy vanilla ice cream.

Eggplant absorbs olive oil like no other vegetable, and we love it just for that reason. This dish from Alison Roman's Nothing Fancy starts with simply halved eggplants, cooked in loads of olive oil until custardy. You serve them on a tangy lemon-labne sauce, with a sprinkle of crunchy olive oil-fried croutons.

The first time we ran a recipe for slow-cooked salmon poached in olive oil, surrounded by fennel and citrus slices, and casually pulled apart, it became an instant, oft-imitated classic. The reason it's become such a staple: The low temp and abundance of olive oil make it nearly impossible to overcook. You'll forget there's any other way.
