    Infusing Oil: How To

    December 29, 2016 | Leave a Comment

    I thought that as it’s coming to the end of the year, we’d end on a nice and easy note. I imagine most people are a little knackered, so there’s nothing better than something that requires just five to ten minutes in the kitchen and yields great flavour results, right?

    While I was in Rome, I knew I wanted to pick up some good quality extra virgin olive oil, and I was also looking at some truffle oil. However, it’s expensive, and the bottles are relatively small. So instead, I bought some dried truffle shavings and decided to make my own.

    You can go for practically any flavour combination you like, but I wanted to make a trio of oils to use for different dishes, and I went for truffle, rosemary and chilli.

    Infusing Oil: How To

    Author: Sand Kitchen
    Recipe type: Gluten-Free, Vegan
    Ingredients
    • Three glass bottles (or as many as you’re intending to make)
    • Three to six truffle shavings
    • Two or three springs of rosemary
    • One diced Scotch bonnet (or your favourite chilli)
    • Olive oil (as much as necessary)
    Instructions
    1. Make sure you sanitise your bottles before you use them, so I just placed mine in some gently boiling water for about ten minutes.
    2. Once your ingredients are prepped, put each into a bottle and fill it up with olive oil. Store them in a relatively cool place, out of the sun, for two to three weeks while they infuse.
    Notes
    You can go for practically any flavour combination you like, but I wanted to make a trio of oils to use for different dishes, hence the flavours chosen here

    Then use them and enjoy! I loved making these because infused oils are stupidly priced in supermarkets and yet they’re astonishingly easy to make.
