Ingredients:
- 2.8-3.2 ounces (80-90 grams) of fresh wild garlic
- 17 fluid ounces (500 milliliters) of high-quality olive oil
Method:
- Preparation:
- Begin by washing the wild garlic thoroughly. Pat each leaf dry meticulously to ensure all moisture is removed.
- Lay the leaves out on a clean surface and allow them to air dry for about one hour, ensuring they remain uncovered.
- Infusion Process:
- After drying, chop the wild garlic into small pieces.
- Place the chopped garlic into a sterilized glass bottle.
- Pour the olive oil over the garlic, ensuring that the herb is completely submerged. For an optional kick, add washed and dried chili peppers.
- Gently stir the mixture to remove any air bubbles, pressing the garlic down to ensure it stays beneath the oil.
- Seal the bottle tightly and refrigerate.
- Maturation:
- After two days, check the bottle to ensure the garlic remains submerged, pressing it down if necessary.
- Let the infusion mature in the refrigerator for at least three weeks, keeping the bottle sealed tightly.
- Final Touch:
- Once the infusion period is complete, strain the oil through a thick cheesecloth to remove any solids.
- Transfer the infused oil back into a clean bottle.
Usage & Storage:
- Your wild garlic-infused oil is now ready for consumption. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a year, although it can be enjoyed as soon as a week after preparation.
