Herb-flavored oils can be quite pricey to buy in the store. Today, I'll show you how to make rosemary-flavored olive oil very easily at home.
INGREDIENTS:
Couple sprigs fresh, organic rosemary
Fresh, organic, extra-virgin olive oil (enough to top off small bottle)
PREPARATION:
Place rosemary sprigs in a shallow bowl.
Crush rosemary by pressing down on sprigs with the bottom of a tablespoon and rolling the spoon firmly over them. This releases the aroma from the leaves.
Pop sprigs into small glass jar. It's a great way to use those little, glass jars you've saved (because you know you should) but never get around to using.
Top off jar with fresh, organic, extra-virgin olive oil.
Cover jar with lid or piece of aluminum foil.
Refrigerate for 3-4 days. The most fabulous aroma will develop.
Strain oil through cheesecloth. Pour into a decorative oil bottle.
There you go! A perfectly-yummy, homemade, rosemary-flavored olive oil, fantastic in cooking or raw on salads.
Enjoy !
