Chili and Garlic Oil
Makes about 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
METHOD
1
In a small saucepan, combine garlic cloves and olive oil. Bring to a
boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer
and cook until the garlic turns golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Do not let the garlic get too brown or the oil will have a bitter taste.
2
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Add red
pepper flakes and let sit to infuse for at least 2 hours to seal flavors.
Strain the oil into a clean glass container, cover, and refrigerate
for up to 2 weeks.
