Today, I‘ll show you how to make a chili & garlic infused olive oil. It‘s very delicious and quite easy to make as well.
INGREDIENTS:
-
½ of a green chili pepper, diced fine (If you want it a bit hotter, leave the seeds in. For more flavor than heat, however, just use the pepper without the seeds).
-
½ of a whole bulb of garlic (roughly 7 cloves), peeled, left whole
-
½ to ¾ cup organic, extra-virgin olive oil
PREPARATION:
-
Pour olive oil into heavy-based pan. (Pan in video is from Mercola.com. A fantastic pan, so, if you get a chance to look at them, by all means, do).
-
Add garlic and chili pepper to oil in pan.
-
Stir, and leave on a very gentle heat, (so as not to destroy any nutrients) for about 6-7 minutes, stirring several times, until garlic is just slightly browned. Soon, you‘ll notice a marvelous aroma in your kitchen!
-
Allow oil to cool down.
-
Strain oil through cheesecloth into small jar, finally, squeezing cloth to release all oil.
-
Cover top with lid or aluminum foil. You may use an olive oil decanter as well.
-
Refrigerate. This keeps for several weeks.
It smells absolutely fabulous! So quick and easy to make and scrumdiddlyumptious as well! You and your family are going to love this one.
