Who else does this? I tend to use rice bran oil as a base, because it is a reasonably plain flavour profile to build on, and is suited to a wide range of cooking applications (very high smoke point), while being very affordable (about half to a third of olive oil prices). I buy it in big metal tin things and fill old oil bottles. EVOO (yeah that's right using the acronym  ) is good too, but a bit of a waste for some applications.Here is a chili infused rice bran oil. great on roasted veges, oven chips, for stir frying and asian cooking in general.  It has a great colour. This is mostly my own chilis, but there is a little bit of dried kashmiri added because wow those chilis have awesome flavour. ------------- kai time! |

Never even used rice bran oil, but I have infused olive oil with garlic and maybe bits of spring onion on occasion. Funny you posted this 'cause I just yesterday I was thinking of infusion some peanut oil with the garden chilis once they ripen and using that for frying potatoes or some catfish for a bit of zing. One other thing I noticed at the store when I was mulling this over....corn oil prices have shot up and is now the most expensive next to olive oil. ------------- |

i've often wanted to make chili oil and have stored sun-dried tomatoes in evoo (ha!) and basil. when the tomatoes were gone the infused oil left behind was great! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |
