Quick 5 Minute Italian-style Chili Oil
Craving a little heat? This super fast Italian style chili oil will add a punch to anything you’re eating: all you need is dried chile flakes, olive oil and 5 minutes! Makes a fun DIY food gift.
Ingredients
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil or your favourite cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon dried chile flakes
Instructions
- Add the oil and chile flakes to a small pot and place on medium heat. Heat the oil, watching constantly, until the oil is warm/hot, 1-3 minutes max. The oil might shimmer but you're not looking for the chile flakes to fry.
- Remove from heat and let steep until it's cool enough to handle (if using right away) or until it's room temperature, so you can decant into a glass jar. Keeps at room temperature for 1 month.
