Ingredients

  • 1 small red chili pepper finely chopped or 1 tablespoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil such as safflower or canola
  • 1 large sprig fresh thyme or rosemary optional
  • 1 elegant glass jar with an airtight closure

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and mix well. Cook over low heat until it reaches a temperature of 180˚F, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 hours or until it reaches room temperature. Strain the oil through a very fine sieve and carefully pour into desired jar. Refrigerate until ready to gift. Flavored oil will last well up to a month. Don’t forget to make a nice label to identify and date your gift.
