How do I make flavored oil

Pesto Oil

Pesto Oil

1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 small clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a 1-cup metal measure or very small metal bowl,
combine all ingredients. Set the measuring
cup or bowl on a baking sheet and cook in lower third
of oven for one hour.

Cool on a rack for 30 minutes.

Line a small strainer with several layers of cheesecloth and strain oil into a glass jar.

Covered loosely and refrigerated at all times, flavored oil keeps for one month. Makes about 1/2 cup.

This oil is good in vinaigrettes, on mashed potatoes or rice and can
be sprinkled on fish, or poutry to perk up the most basic of meals.
