The Finishing Touch Infused Olive Oil
THIS INFUSED OLIVE OIL IS A FABULOUS FINISHING TOUCH ON ANY FRESHLY COOKED FOOD.
Makes 15 ounces
1 16-ounce bottle best-quality extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, slightly crushed
3 dried red chile peppers
Zest of 1 orange, removed with a vegetable peeler (use outer orange layer of peel only)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon multicolor peppercorns
Pour out 3 tablespoons of the oil and stuff the other ingredients into the bottle. Or use a pretty glass bottle of your choice and fill ¾ full with olive oil.
Seal and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 days before using. Always keep refrigerated to avoid spoilage by the garlic. This will keep, tightly capped, for up to a month.
