Rosemary Oil

September 24, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 12 Comments

We recently bought a pizza stone and have been making our own pizzas on a Friday night. Nothing beats home-made pizza dough and it is so quick to make using the Kitchenaid. One of our favourite pizzas is a rosemary pizza, where we drizzle olive oil and scatter crushed/bruised rosemary, sea salt flakes and shaved parmesan on the base. Delicious!

We have started making our own rosemary infused olive oil using the warm infusion method. It tastes wonderful on our rosemary pizza.

Recipe:
1 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
Handful of rosemary sprigs (washed and completely dry)
teaspoon peppercorns

Warm the olive oil, rosemary, and peppercorns in a small saucepan for a couple of minutes. Allow to cool and then pour into a sterilised and dry bottle.

As we only had some small bottles on hand we used a fine sieve to filter out the rosemary and peppercorns as we didn’t want them to get stuck in the bottle. (We only make small quantities as infused oil need to be used within a week or so).

Please note: The herbs and bottle should be completely dry, and the infused oil should be refrigerated and used within a week. The Olive Oil Source has some good information about making and using infused oils, and precautions for avoiding botulism.

Spring has finally arrived in our part of the world. I spent some time in the garden this morning replanting our herb garden. We now have continental parsley, curly leaf parsley, basil, oregano, coriander, mint, chives, and chillies. We live in a coastal area with strong winds, so we plant our herbs in pots that can be relocated around the garden as the summer progresses.

There is nothing nicer than being able to pick your own fresh herbs to add to salads and meals.

Are there any herbs you can’t live without?

    I love parsley! Have to be honest …even though we do have a herb garden, I tend to use the herbs in glass jars sitting next to my stovetop, rather than walk out to snip the fresh ones! How lazy is that!?!LOL

    I love fresh coriander – but do quite often forget I have it. I must need to take a bit more time thinking about our meals so I remember these things!

    Mmm, botulism.
    This is a great idea – we love chilli oil on our pizzas and I guess the same thing could be done with birds eye chillis instead. Love the stepped oil dish you show there, we often have good oil with balsamic in one of these and dip our baguette in – yummo!

    And have you tried a brownie pizza on it yet? OMG yum!! I’d give you the recipe but then it would be a endlessly long post. I’m in the middle of restoring my computer at the moment. I got the recipe from Pampered Chef, and I’m sure it is on google. I look it up there every time I make it. SO Good, really you gotta!!
