Recipe Summary Chipotle Oil

This is my take on Chinese hot oil. The chipotle gives it a smokey taste. It is great as a dip for bread. Great for pan frying, searing, flavoring, or anything you want to add some kick to.

Ingredients | Baking With Rapeseed Oil

1 ½ cups olive oil

½ cup dried chipotle chile pepper, crushed

½ cup red pepper flakes

Directions

Place oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat oil to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) using a candy thermometer to gauge temperature.

Break chipotle chiles into small pieces and place into a a spice grinder; pulse to grind into 1/8-inch pieces. Stir ground chipotle chiles and red pepper flakes into the hot oil. Cook until chile oil begins to foam, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove chile oil from heat; cover and let sit for 4 hours to overnight. Pour chile oil through a fine mesh strainer into a sealable container.

Adjust pepper quantities to your level of heat tolerance. I like mine hot.

I use a very light olive oil, but you can use peanut oil for a richer flavor.
