Ingredients
Amounts for batches of 250ml oil, but double if need be to fill your size of jar.
6-12 chillies, red or green or both
250 ml extra virgin olive oil
Black peppercorns (optional)
Salt (optional)
Jam jar with lids, washed in hot water thoroughly
Method
Wash and pat dry the chillies. Slice them if required to fit into the jar.
Place the chillies into the jar, pour in the oil to cover. Seal on lid.
Leave the chillies to infuse for 2-3 weeks then remove and discard (or use immediately if you happen to be cooking something that needs them).
Add whole black peppercorns or salt. You can also add rosemary if you like.
