Citrus Olive Oil
From The Kitchen · The Little Extras
An infused olive oil to keep on hand.
Ingredients
- 2 cups extra virgin olive oil
- Zest of 1 orange
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Fresh thyme
- Pink peppercorns
How to make it
Warm the oil gently until just fragrant — never let it simmer — then tuck in the aromatics and pour into a clean, dry bottle. Steep somewhere cool and dark for a week or two, then strain. Keep infused oils in the fridge and use within a week — fresh garlic and herbs in oil can harbor bacteria at room temperature. For longer keeping, use dried herbs.
Best with: Burrata, arugula, salmon, grilled chicken
