Herb Olive Oil Recipe

My friend Cheri made a version of this oil one weekend as a delicious part of a girls weekend breakfast. It’s herbaceousness with just a touch of saltiness is so incredibly tasty. It’s perfect drizzled atop a plate of toast, fresh greens, and a fried egg, but it’s uses are endless. It also makes a great homemade hostess gift.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves

4 cloves fresh garlic

2 tsp kosher salt

2 cups extra virgin olive oil

Place herbs, garlic, and salt in a food processor. Pour in a splash of the olive oil. Puree until all ingredients are finely minced. Stir puree into remaining olive oil and pour mixture into a covered container. Keep in refrigerator.

Uses:

Substitute for ordinary oil in salad dressing

Marinade for grilled veggies, seafood, and meat

Toss with pasta for a delicious side dish

Stir-fry with peppers and onions

Perfect for a hostess, teacher, or favorite foodie friend gift
