Basically:
– 1 L of high smoke-point oil (rice bran or grapeseed)
– 1 Full head of garlic, diced
– Equal ratio of ginger, shredded/diced
– 2 Lemon rinds, grated
– 10-12 Peppers (I used Ghosts), adjust number for heat.
Heat Oil to around 170-180 C (340-350 F).
Mix non oil contents in heat-resistant bowl (I’ve used Pyrex bowl)
Once oil is hot, **slowly** pour hot oil into bowl, I’ve used a tea towell to cover my hands against splash.
Let it settle and absorb for a while, then strain several times to remove sediment (I haven’t done so yet), store in a dry place.
This one is even hotter than my previous store-bout Scorpion batches, but not at my Reaper batch levels.
This batch of Ghosts gives a hot oil that has its heat creep up on you and has a sustained burn with a nice light fruity accent. Depending on the SH used, I’ve had really fruity ones, oils that give bursting flavour.
I love doing oils, I find them easier to make (took me about 40 minutes including manually cutting up everything and I’m slow at it) and more versatile than sauces.
This one once strained will be a nice orange-red colour and will last us several months.
Thoughts and opinions?
