I had just taken out a batch of roasted tofu from the oven when I thought maybe I should try it with that new olive oil I got in the mail. I had received a complimentary bottle of Kenzoil from the manufacturer and was debating what to do with it.
I must admit I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was first contacted to try the stuff. I mean, come on, it’s a bottle of oil with herbs in it. As it turns out, Kenzoil is delicious as a dip for tofu. I also sprinkle a little on white rice as I didn’t have any bread to dip and that’s tasty as well. The flavor is subtly of basil and garlic with just a hint of spiciness.
Besides the fresh basil and garlic, I believe it’s those spices that put it over the top and makes it so different and special. I noticed how the label doesn’t list exactly what the spices are, it must be a secret recipe.
It’s all-natural, vegan, raw, dairy free, gluten free and nut free. Not to mention low sodium, no vinegar, no sugar and no preservatives. Just like I would make at home if I had the time and if I wasn’t so lazy and if I knew the actual recipe.
Fortunately, Kenzoil is available online and in some Midwest stores if you happen to live out there.

Sounds pretty good!
Andrea says
This sounds really good but the name reminds me so much of Pennzoil (motor oil) it’s disconcerting!
Gabrielle says
Agree with Andrea, it reminds me of motor oil, but the tofu looks fabulous, as tofu usually does. :)

The guy who created the oil is named Ken, hence “Ken’s Oil”. :-)
