Artisan Infused Olive Oil

Yes, you can make uniquely flavor olive oils in your kitchen.  Simple and elegant!

What you’ll need:

• Glass bottle with a top
• Organic extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. dried granulated garlic
• 1/4 tsp. dried minced onions
• 1/4 tsp. dried red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp. dried black peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf

Directions:

1. Combine all your spices in your bottle
2. Fill with olive oil, leave at least one-inch headspace for mixing
3. Label with ingredients
4. Store in a cool dark place for about 2 weeks
5. Shake the bottle daily to infuse flavor

Other flavor profiles using all dried herbs:

• Rosemary and garlic
• Chilli peppers and garlic (yep I love garlic)
• oregano, basil, garlic, and dried tomatoes flakes

Now get creative and use the flavored olive oil.  Try it on a specialty pizza you made by drizzling it on after baking, make some dipped oil for bread, or add a splash to any meal before serving.

Important Note: For health reasons only use dried herbs.  There is a possible risk of botulism when using fresh ingredients.
