Habanero oil
This habanero oil is the perfect way to add heat to a dish and bump up its flavor. Here's how to make and store this Habanero chili oil in a batch!
Ingredients
- 2 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 3-4 Habanero peppers
Instructions
- Start by pouring the oil in a pot over low heat.
- Chop up the Habanero peppers or slice them thinly.
- Add peppers in the oil and let it simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool down.
- You can now strain the oil before storing it, or allow the peppers to steep in the oil to bring in more heat.
Notes
- While fresh habanero peppers are the essence of this oil, you can also add some other chili peppers if you want to.
- Dried ghost peppers can be another great addition to this hot Habanero pepper oil.
- You can also choose to throw in some chili flakes to bring that beautiful chunky texture to the oil.
- Black peppercorn can also be a fun addition to the oil, and can lend it a nice earthy undertone.
- If you want the Habanero oil to have a bit of a fruity and citrusy aroma, you can add some lime or orange zest into it towards the end.
- You can use a stainless steel pot to heat the oil and infuse the chillies, or even a cast iron pan if you want to.
