Chili oil
Chili oil is one of the most commonly used spices in Asian cuisine. It adds so much flavor to pretty much any dish, not just heat. There are many ways to make chili oils, often using a variety of ingredients that add complex flavors to the end product, as it’s not always just about the spiciness. Good chilli oils are also aromatic. And you can add it to almost anything.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup cannabis-infused canola, sunflower, or vegetable oil
-
¼ red onion
-
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
-
1/3 cup Asian chili flakes
-
1 star anise
-
1 cinnamon stick
-
1 teaspoon coriander
-
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
-
Salt to taste
directions:
-
Heat a small saucepan on the stove and add the oil, garlic, red onion, star anise, cinnamon, coriander, and peppercorns. Wait for the mixture to bubble slightly, but don’t let it bubble too much or the spices may burn.
-
If you see some bubbles, reduce the heat to low. Simmer the ingredients for half an hour, stirring regularly so that they simmer instead of burn. Reduce or increase the heat as needed. You are looking for an oil that will add some color without being too dark or burning.
-
After 30 minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
-
Place the chilli flakes and salt in a ceramic bowl and gently pour the oil mixture over a colander, colander, or cheesecloth. You just want to add the oil without the cooked spices.
-
Mix the spices and let cool for about 30 minutes. Fill it into an airtight glass jar for storage and your delicious, fiery hot chilli oil can be stored for up to half a year.
