Mexican Chilli Oil
Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
Oil Base
1 bottle (750 ml) Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp coriander seed
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 cinnamon quill
Chilli
¼ cup chilli flakes
2 chipotle chillies, chopped finely
2 tbsp toasted cumin seeds
Method
In a saucepan, combine the oil base and very slowly bring up the heat until the oil becomes fragrant. Then turn the heat up full for 2 minutes until the oil starts to just smoke.
Combine the chilli flakes, chipotle and cumin in a glass bowl with a pinch of salt. Pour the hot oil through a sieve onto the chilli mix. Leave to cool to room temp and your chilli oil is done. Store in an airtight jar.
