HERB OIL

A gloriously green oil, easy to adapt and perfect for finishing dishes.

Prep Time 10 minutes
FILTERING TIME 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings 150 ml

Ingredients

  • 40 g fresh herbs (any you like – parsley, coriander, basil, dill, mint etc.)
  • 150 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the herbs for 10-15 seconds, then quickly remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and dunk in ice-cold water. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Drain the herbs, then dry them thoroughly with a tea towel. Combine with the olive oil in a high-speed blender and blitz until completely smooth.

  3. Line a sieve with doubled-up muslin cloth, or with a coffee filter. Sit it over a jug, then pour the oil into the sieve and allow to sit for 1-2 hours, or until the majority of the liquid has dripped through the sieve and you are left with just the herb mush in the cloth or filter.

  4. Transfer the herb oil into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.

How about using this herb oil in my Braised Leeks & Herb Oil?
