Ingredients

  • 160 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup sweet onion (diced) (about 1/2 of a small onion)

Instructions

  1. Preheat skillet over low-medium heat. Don't let it overheat. You don't want to burn or scorch the oil. You want the oil to remain just below it's smoking point, so if it starts to smoke, reduce the heat a bit. 

  2. Once heated, add the diced onion to the oil. Let it cook to translucent, but don't let it burn. Should cook about five minutes. 

  3. Next add the garlic and any herbs you may have decided to add to the recipe, such as rosemary or oregano. Continue to saute for at least five more minutes. Stir it all so nothing scorches or burns. 

  4. Lastly, remove the oil from the heat then run the oil through a filter fine enough to filer out the onions and garlic. Let the filtered oil cool off and it is ready for use. You will be left with approximately 150 milliliters, which can be used up pretty quickly.But you can probably keep it around for a week or so thereafter.
