FLAVORED COOKING OIL

Flavored Cooking Oil image

Flavored oils can be used for cooking, in salad dressing, brushed over grilled meats or fish. They are also good stirred into mashed potatoes or spooned over steamed vegetables. Some good combinations would be rosemary/thyme, ginger/garlic, or bay leaf/peppercorn. You can either strain the oil or leave the solids in to intensify the flavor.
