updated

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 1 liter rapeseed oil
  • 40 grains of allspice
  • 40 peppercorns
  • 40 peppercorns, pink
  • 2 tbsp paprika powder, hot
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp basil

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Heat everything in a pot to approximately 160°C. The temperature is approximately reached when the allspice berries start to whine, squeak, and whistle. Let it cool and then filter through a sieve lined with a double layer of kitchen paper. I always use this oil to make my fried potatoes from raw, diced, washed, and dried waxy potatoes. I fry them in this oil, season them with salt, and add diced onion just before cooking. I think it tastes simply amazing. If you find any other uses for this oil, I’d love to hear about them!
