Parmesan oil

• 500 ml olive oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 4 days; Total time approx. 4 days 30 minutes

with pasta, vegetables, strong leaf salads and tomato salad

Cut the Parmesan into very small cubes so that it will fit through the neck of the oil bottle later. Place the cubes in a saucepan with the remaining ingredients, fill with olive oil, and heat gently on the stovetop (do not boil!). Let the mixture steep for about 15-20 minutes, then pour everything into a large jar. The oil should steep for at least 3-4 days. After that, it can be bottled in sterile containers. For flavor and appearance, it’s a great idea to add the Parmesan, peppercorns, and chili peppers to the bottle. Parmesan oil goes very well with pasta, vegetables, hearty leaf salads, and tomato salad. It can be used with any dish that can be topped with grated Parmesan.
