Preparation

  1. Place oil in a saucepan. Use a heavy knife to smash the lemongrass to bits, particularly the bulbous end, then coarsely chop it and add it to the oil with the peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cool for 6 hours and strain through cheesecloth into a bottle. Cover loosely and refrigerate. The oil will keep for 2 weeks.
