Ingredients

• 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Add the olive oil to a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 2

Once warmed but not bubbling, add the minced garlic to the oil.

Step 3

Gently sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature so the flavors infuse the oil.

Step 6

Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids if you prefer a smooth oil, or leave the herbs in for more texture.

Step 7

Transfer the Panini Oil to an airtight jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Before use, let the oil return to room temperature and stir if needed.
