This is quick and fantastic for that extra kick when added to a pizza, stir-fry, noodle soup, sauces such as warm salad dressing. I usually use red chillies with a dash or two dried chilli flakes.
Ingredients
Olive Oil
Chillies, fresh
Dried Chillies, whole or flakes (Optional)
Paprika (Optional)
Heat a saucepan over a low heat and add a good few lugs of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and add the fresh chillies. Gently fry for about 2 minutes.
Add in dried chillies and paprika and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature for at least 2 hours.
Strain the oil into a bottle and seal.
Refrigerate up to 1 month.
