olive oil
It's easy to prepare the flavored oil,
expecially if you have some olive oil that's no longer fresh or lasts
since last year!
First of all, choose the flavore you prefere: you cna choose among
pepper, garlic, sage, rosmarine, chili pepper and basil (these are the
most common, but you can use the same procedure with other flavore you
like!).
Clean well the leaves and dry them with a towel, then choose a glass
bottle, drop the flavor inside and cover with the oil. It's very
important that the oil covers the leaves, otherwise there'll be some
mildew and you'll be forced to drop everything to litter!
Afterwords, close watertight
and put in a fresh place to rest for at least one month.
There are several uses for the aromatic oil! You can enjoy tryng them to
enrich simple dishes with fish or meat! |
Simona's
personal suggestion:
you can also mix the flavors, for instance garlic, rosmarine and
chili pepper all together are perfect to use with spaghetti. Garlic and
chilli pepper can also be used with meat, hamburgers and fish!
