How do you make oregano infused oil? Have you ever wondered how to bring a burst of flavor to your dishes with a simple homemade oil? Today we will learn how to make oregano infused oil. A delightful addition to your home cooking. This oil not only enhances the taste of your meals, but also brings the health benefits of oregano and olive oil right to your kitchen. To start, gather your ingredients. You will need dried oregano leaves and a good quality oil such as extra virgin olive oil. A common ratio is one part dried oregano to three parts oil. For example, you can use 1/4 cup of dried oregano with 3/4 cup of oil. Now, let’s prepare the herbs and oil. Take a clean, sterilized jar and fill it halfway with the dried oregano. Pour the olive oil over the oregano, allowing the leaves to absorb some oil for a few minutes. After that, add more oil until the oregano is completely covered. Make sure the oil level is at least 1 to 2 in above the oregano to prevent spoilage. Next, we will gently heat the jar to extract the flavors. Place the jar in a pot of hot water, but do not let the water boil. Heat it for about 15 minutes. This gentle heat helps the oil absorb the oregano’s aroma and beneficial properties without damaging them. After heating, remove the jar from the water and let it cool. Now it is time for the infusion period. Allow the jar to sit at room temperature 422 for weeks. During this time, shake the jar daily. This helps promote even infusion and flavor extraction from the oregano into the oil. Once the infusion period is over, it is time to strain the oil. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove all the oregano pieces. Transfer the strained oil into amber glass bottles with droppers. This protects the oil from light, which can degrade its quality. Store the oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its flavor and potency. If you want a quicker method, you can gently warm the oil on low heat around 180° F. Add the dried oregano and optional flavorings like garlic or chili flakes. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then cool and strain the oil. Store it in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Making oregano infused oil is a simple process that brings a wonderful flavor to your cooking. You can use it for drizzling over roasted vegetables, mixing into salad dressings, or as a dipping oil. The earthy, slightly spicy notes of oregano will elevate your dishes. Plus, you will enjoy the health benefits of both oregano and olive oil. So, get started on your flavor exploration today.
