Time 15m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
6 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
2 fresh bay leaves
1 lemon, zest only (no white part)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 pinch dried red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the pan sit on the warm burner for about 1 hour.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Oil will be cloudy. That's OK.
  • Store in a tightly sealed dark-colored glass bottle at room temperature.
  • NOTE: It's possible to substitute dried herbs for fresh. The oil will not be as flavorful, but still quite good. Try 2 tsp dried thyme, 2 dried bay leaves, 2 tsp dried rosemary. However, fresh garlic is a must!
