Herbed Grill Oil

Uses For Leftover Herbed Grilled Oil:

  • As a marinade for meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables.
  • Sauté vegetables, shrimp, chicken, or tofu in it.
  • Mix it with a little vinegar, salt, and pepper for a salad dressing.
  • Stir it into hot pasta and add cheese.
  • Brush it on grilled bread or toast to make bruschetta.
  • Toss it with potatoes, then season it with salt and pepper and roast.
I use this oil as a base for almost all of my savory pizzas and many of the piadinas. It takes just a second to make and keeps in the refrigerator indefinitely. If I'm feeling lazy, sometimes I add a little more olive oil instead of making a new batch. Make sure the olive oil is top quality.

Ingredients:
˝ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic, minced
˝ teaspoon dried oregano
˝ teaspoon dried thyme
˝ teaspoon dried basil

Makes:
˝ cup

  1. Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl or glass jar, mix well, and refrigerate. If it solidifies, take it out a few minutes early or microwave it at 5-second intervals until it starts to liquefy.
