Chili Oil

Directions

1. 1
   Put chillies and Any other bits and bobs you have lying around- I use whole cloves of garlic, and sprigs of rosemary- in an air-tight bottle.
2. 2
   Fill up the bottle to the top with olive oil.
3. 3
   I use extra virgin, but it's really not necessary- it's just a taste thing.
4. 4
   To give the oil a bit of a helping hand I add ground dried chillies to the oil as well- this brings the flavour on sooner.
5. 5
   The oil is ready when it is hot enough for your taste.
6. 6
   Usually 2-3 weeks.
7. 7
   The great thing about flavoured oils like this is that if the oil gets too hot, you can just'water' it down by adding more olive oil.
