Uncle Steve's HOT Oil - new
Recipe By: Steve - Recipes@usHOTstuff.com
Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:45
Categories: Hot & Spicy Uncle Steve's Hot Sauce
Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
3 cups peanut oil
1 cup sesame oil
6 cloves garlic quartered
2 tablespoons * smoked-dried Habanero powder
or 4 tbs. crushed Chipolte
4 tablespoons rosemary leaves crushed
Place oils in a small sauce pan over low-medium heat.
Add remaining ingredients, simmer and stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes. Do
not over heat oil! If finished product is very dark, you over heated the oil.
Cook until the garlic has stopped fizzing/bubbling (this indicates that the
moisture has been cooked off).
For extra flavor and beauty add a large sprig of dried rosemary into an old
wine that has been cleaned in boiling water. (This acts as a reminder to help
identify what is in the bottle)
Filter oil (while still hot, it flows faster) through a milk or coffee filter
into the hot, clean bottle. We use a filter lined sieve set on a funnel. If
the process is taking what seams as forever, replace the filter with a new
one. Try not to pour any sediment into the filter until the end (it will clog
the fine filter). Let sediment sit in filter and drip out over night.
Can be used immediately, but better after a few weeks.
This recipe was modified (3/24/99) after several list friends shared their
concerns about Botulism due to adding raw garlic to the finished product. All
though the risk is very small, (generally 10-30 cases a year; for comparison,
Salmonella from store bought meats has been between 45-50,000 cases a year for
the same time frame) a mishap could cause death. I have made the hot
garlic/rosemary oil for more than six years using raw garlic without any
problems. Never the less, it's not worth any risk if you can get sick or even
die. If you have an old copy of this recipe delete it. After 3 people got sick
from a crushed garlic-in-oil mix the FDA ordered companies to stop making the
product.

-----
Notes: This oil is a little different than store bought hot oil. It has a lot
of flavor! Store bought is used to add heat with out disturbing the flavor of
the dish to much.
Serving Ideas: Drizzle over any potato or rice dish to add flavor & heat.

Enjoy the heat,
