What goes with Coconut Oil?
Virgin coconut oil contributes coconut perfume and a fat that changes from firm or spoonable to liquid in a warm kitchen. Unlike coconut milk, it supplies almost no water and cannot form a creamy sauce by itself. Refined coconut oil is much less aromatic. The two may behave similarly as fats while producing noticeably different flavours.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Coconut Oil?
Chocolate and toasted spices can accommodate the coconut scent, while beans and peas offer enough starch to distribute the fat. Judge savoury combinations warm as well as cold: a pleasant warm glaze may become a thick film on a chilled vegetable. Where a firm filling is intended, blend the oil thoroughly into the moist base before chilling.
