Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic (optional, smashed)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, pour olive oil and warm it over low heat. Avoid letting it reach a simmer or boil; the goal is to gently heat the oil for infusion.
Add sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and the optional smashed garlic cloves to the saucepan.
Stir the ingredients gently for 5–7 minutes, keeping the heat low to avoid burning the paprika or garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 15–20 minutes.
Strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle or jar to remove any solids.
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store the paprika oil in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. Use within 2–3 weeks for best flavor.
