I took some of my chilli oil up to 1770 M&G this year for a laugh, but a few enjoyed it and have asked for the recipe, so here it is.
Double burn chilli oil :angryfire: :angryfire:
I use the small “birds eye” chillies, other work just well. Only the hotness will vary
Wash chillies and remove any stork bits.
Place chillies into a plastic bag and gently bruise/split the chillies. On larger chillies slice down the middle.
Remove from bag and place on a large flat baking tray. Place in a warm area to allow the chillies to dry out. You only need to remove about 50% of the moisture. This stops the chillies from going off.
Place chillies in a clean sterilized jar and cover with a good quality olive oil.
Leave to stand for a couple of weeks before using. The longer they stand, the more infused the oil becomes with the chilli flavour and the darker the oil will be.
Just keep topping up the oil as you use it. I have been using the same jar for about 2 years now, and the oil is a very dark yellow.
enjoy
How I like to use it
Add a few drops to the top of a spag bog, and top with cheese
On a hot dog.
Mix a teaspoon of the oil with onions next time your having them fried on a BBQ.
