Description

This vibrant spiced oil transforms ordinary olive oil into a complex, aromatic condiment bursting with fresh herbal notes and subtle heat. By gently infusing high-quality olive oil with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and basil, you create a luxurious base that elevates simple ingredients. The addition of citrus slices and red pepper adds a bright, zesty kick that cuts through richness. Perfect for tossing with hot pasta, drizzling over roasted vegetables, or using as a finishing oil for soups and stews. It captures the essence of a Mediterranean kitchen in a bottle, offering a versatile flavor boost that enhances any meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the garlic cloves, shallots, and scallion, then roughly chop all vegetables including the carrot, red pepper slice, tomato slice, lime slice, and lemon slice.
  2. Place the chopped vegetables, fresh basil leaves, thyme sprig, rosemary sprig, bay leaf, black pepper, and red pepper flakes into a clean, dry glass jar.
  3. Pour the olive oil over the ingredients in the jar, ensuring everything is fully submerged.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and set it aside in a cool, dark place for at least 4 days to allow the flavors to infuse.
