Olive Oil Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Infuse the Olive Oil
In a small saucepan, combine the extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Heat the mixture over low heat, allowing the flavors to infuse into the oil without reaching a boiling point.
- 2
Simmer
Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure the garlic does not burn, as this can impart a bitter flavor to the oil.
- 3
Cool and Strain
Once the oil is infused, remove it from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Strain the oil into a clean, dry bottle using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the garlic and herbs.
- 4
Season
Add salt to taste. Optionally, you can also add more red pepper flakes if you desire additional heat.
- 5
Store
Seal the bottle and store in a cool, dark place. Use within a month for the best flavor.
