INSTRUCTIONS
Makes 1-3/4 cup Perhaps the most versatile of the seasoned oils, this
is a light infusion speaking equally of different flavors. The oil may
cloud, but the flavor will not be impaired. Combine all of the
ingredients in a heavy, non-aluminum 1- to 1-1/2 quart saucepan. Rest
a deep-fry thermometer on the rim of the pot. Over moderately low
heat, bring the mixture to a bubbly 225*F, stirring occasionally. Let
simmer for 15 minutes, checking to ensure the temperature does not
rise. Remove from the heat and let stand until cool or overnight.
Strain the oil without pressing the solids; then, discard the solids.
Store the oil in an impeccably clean glass jar at cool room
temperature. Menu Suggestions: This is a wonderful oil for dressing
noodles and salads. Its lemony tang makes it a great partner for fish.
