Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Add the olive oil to a small saucepan over low heat.
Once warmed but not bubbling, add the minced garlic to the oil.
Gently sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature so the flavors infuse the oil.
Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids if you prefer a smooth oil, or leave the herbs in for more texture.
Transfer the Panini Oil to an airtight jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Before use, let the oil return to room temperature and stir if needed.
