You can do anything you believe you can, baby.

>>15875205
sure why not

>> No.15875229

>>15875205
I think you can
Big proponent of using local ingredients, especially if you don't live in an american megacity and want to try a technique from another cuisine
I'm from southern Europe with my own olive trees so you'd bet I'd use olive oil, unless I happen to have something else.
>>15875207
Why not? As long as OP understands the properties of the ingredient he is using, there's no reason why they should do it

>> No.15875234

>>15875205
You should use light olive oil for replacing ghee. Extra virgin contains too much matter that hasn't been filtered out so it burns easily when heat is applied

ghee. there's no substitute. if you don't have any, make your own by reducing butter. jesus christ

judging by the stupidity of OP's question its highly unlikely his dumb ass understands anything of anything

>>15875306
so just cook butter inna pan?

>> No.15875388

>>15875378
You need to melt the butter and strain out the milk solids. This will leave you with straight butter fat (ghee). Look up a recipe.

>> No.15875417

>>15875209
Depends what you're doing with it.
If you're just frying, I guess vegetable oil and maybe a little butter.

>> No.15875426

>>15875205
don't cook with fat. cook with water.

>> No.15875459

do whatever you want, there's no real recipe

>> No.15875478

Use olive oil and butter.

>> No.15875492

>>15875426
most flavors and a lot of nutrients dissolve better in fat

>>15875205
What are you using it for? If you're frying something at a high temperature then olive oil won't work as well, but if you're just putting it on bread or adding it to a curry or giving aromatics a quick fry then olive oil will be fine.

>>15875561
I think olive oil goes well with eggs

>> No.15875804

if you're baking? definitely not
if you're cooking otherwise? probably, but again definitely not if you're frying something
olive oil smokes at way too low a temp

what is ghee

>> No.15875829

>>15875815
It's basically clarified butter.

>> No.15875839

>>15875561
As in boiled eggs that you cut in half then fry with spices? In that case use butter.

>> No.15875847

>>15875815
butter without the water content and the milk solids caramelized.

Clarified butter is the same thing, but you stop cooking once the water content is gone, you don't caramelize the milk solids.
