Well, if you MUST...:) Actually, isn't olive oil more stable under
heat than other vegetable options? In any case, you could prepare the
dish and then put the olive oil in at the end, as a seasoning and
flavor enhancer. When I make bone broths, I put crushed garlic and
olive oil over the top of the serving. I do not find olive oil to be
"flavor-neutral", though. The extra virgin stuff I buy is very
strongly and distinctively flavored.
