Fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and dried Arbol chili peppers infuse rich, buttery Avocado Oil with heat and flavor. This easy DIY infused oil recipe is a homemade gift that’s ideal for high-heat cooking methods like air frying, grilling, baking, and more.
Ingredients
-
1 bottle of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
Fresh oregano sprigs
4-5 garlic cloves, peeled
3-4 dried Arbol red chili peppers
1-2 tsp. red chili pepper flakes
2 cups white distilled vinegar
Directions
Sterilize your mason jars in boiling water for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, rinse and dry your herbs. Separate garlic cloves and peel the skin off. Lightly crush the garlic cloves with a chef’s knife or your palm.
- In a pot over medium-high heat, add the vinegar. Heat vinegar to near boiling, about 190ºF.
Place your herbs and garlic cloves in a strainer and pour the hot vinegar over the top. Cover the ingredients with a clean kitchen towel and allow to cool. Place your herbs, dried peppers, and garlic in the sterilized jar when cool.
- Pour the avocado oil into a large pot and place on a burner turned to medium-high. Heat oil until it reaches 180ºF.
Pour oil into the sterilized jar, on top of your herbs and garlic. Add the dried chili peppers and red chili pepper flakes and stir lightly. Seal the top of your jar and allow the oil to cool.
- Store oil in the refrigerator after it cools. Oil should keep for up to one month in the refrigerator. If refrigerated oil appears cloudy, allow it to come to room temperature before using.
