"Give your curries a kick start." Another gift for some lucky recipient from the Hungry Kitchen.
The oil has been delicately infused by gently heating some olive oil (this bottle is about 350ml) with some chillis (de-seeded and halved), a couple of bay leaves and a few peppercorns, then leaving to steep for a couple of days.
We had a veg stir fry with this, it gave a lovely background heat without being too overpowering, very good for folks like me who don't like to come across a big ol' hunk of chilli but don't mind a subtle chilli heat.
Also made a few bottles of thyme oil using a similar method. Yummers.
Another in the series of Scoffing Fillers.
