Rosemary is our ingredient of the season. A few weeks ago we infused vodka with rosemary and made bloody marys; today we’re infusing olive oil. Find other rosemary concoctions here.
Oil infusion may be my new favorite hobby. I’m a first timer, but I’m here to rave about it. Make this rosemary infused olive oil and thank yourself while cooking all your future meals. I felt like a little chemist with the measuring, pouring, heating and transferring (sorry to all the chemists I’ve just insulted). Oil infusion may not be the most exciting or glamorous activity for a Friday night, but it’s so stinkin’ easy and it’s plain stinkin’ too. It makes your entire home smell super fresh. The green herbs combined with warm olive oil ease your senses into an aromatic daydream. Personally I was skipping along green hillsides in Italy. I’m excited to try other herbs and even fruits like lemons and oranges. A little basket of different oils and yummy breads would make a great gift for a chef or a snacker or an anyone.
