Herbs can be used to make wonderful flavoured oils. This is a great thing to do if you have any herbs that need using up of if you just need to give your herbs a trim. Infused herb soils are delicious for browning and frying food, but also add extra depth and flavour to dishes, from stews to salad dressings.
How to make a herb oil
It’s best to use extra-virgin olive oil for your herb oil. Use either a single herb or mix a few together to create a blend. Here, we’ve used rosemary and garlic, but basil, thyme, sage or oregano will also give great flavours. Chillies and spices like coriander or fennel seeds are make great oil infusions, too.
