flavored olive oil...

i like to spice up my olive oil...vs. using it straight from the container. and i never buy them already flavored. not when it's much more economical...and so easy to make it yourself.

ingredients...

• olive oil
• crushed garlic cloves
• red pepper flakes
• rosemary

add all to non-metal pan. heat on low to a simmer. turn off flame. cover & cool.

let it cool over night to impart more flavor. strain and poor it into decorative containers.

use in salad dressing...on pasta...or when stir-frying.

*if you'd like to store herbs in the finished oil product...you must use dried herbs.

kitchen creations...

i like making herb infused olive oils. my kitchen smells wonderful when i'm making them...and i love using them in salad dressings & stir frying.

rosemary-garlic-oregano oil...



garlic-sage oil...



chili-rosemary-oregano oil...

simmer the herbs in the oil for a minute...allow to cool & then strain.

blanch fresh herbs in boiling water for 2-3 minutes & allow to dry overnight. place the herbs in a clean container & pour the strained oil over them.

*you can also use dried herbs to flavor the oil.
