Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Prepare a container for your chilli oil. Here I'm using a small (250 ml) glass bottle .

Sterilise by pouring a little boiling water into it and shake.

Empty out the water and leave the bottle upside down.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Prepare 2 red chillis, 1 bayleaf, 1 sprig thyme and 10 peppercorns.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Trim the stalks off 2 red chillis and split them in half lengthways.

Remove and discard the seeds.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Cut each half in 2 again lengthways.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Bring a small pan of water to the boil and blanch all the ingredients for 30 seconds.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Drain and dry everything.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Put into the bottle.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Pour in 250 ml olive oil.

Seal and leave to infuse for at least 3 weeks before using. Keep in a cool, dry place.

Remarks

If you would like a hotter oil, simply add more chillis, or leave in the seeds.

Keeping: Several months stored in a cool dry place.
