This is a straightforward recipe for a flavorful culinary oil that you can use in salad dressings, marinades, or drizzled over roasted meats .
· Ingredients: 1 cup high-quality carrier oil (extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil), 2-3 tablespoons whole mixed peppercorns.
· Instructions:
- Lightly crush the peppercorns using a rolling pin or the back of a pan. You only need to crack them to release their natural oils, not grind them into powder.
- Pour the oil into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling (about 140°F or 60°C).
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in the cracked peppercorns.
- Let the mixture steep and cool to room temperature.
- Pour the cooled oil and peppercorns into a sterilized glass bottle.
· Storage: For the best flavor, let it sit in a cool, dark place for about a week before using. Homemade infused oils with dry ingredients can be stored at room temperature for about a month, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life .
