This is always in my kitchen cupboard and has many uses. Add to pasta, soups, stir fries, sauces, bruchetta, dips, etc. For a spicy bread dip use the oil and add fresh chopped herbs (parsley, basil, coriander) and garlic, add balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste!!! The oil does not have to mature, it is ready to use after you have made it. Don't forget to add this to your gift baskets!

1 bottle (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 12 medium dried chilies, approx
  • 2 cups corn oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Chop up the chili peppers, put them in a pan with the corn oil.
  2. 2
    Let this heat up for about 10 minutes. Make sure you don’t let it get too hot!
  3. 3
    Take off the heat and let it cool down.
  4. 4

    If you make this to give as a gift add a few dried chilies to the bottle.

Such an easy recipe! I'm almost out of the first batch I made and will have to make this again soon. Excellent for Asian dishes.

    I just made this a couple days ago, but I think it's going to be great in chili, stir frys, and anything else I can put it in! Very easy to make and VERY hot! Looking forward to using a lot of it this fall. Will definitely make more as gifts. I already shared the recipe with three others in the office, who are all looking forward to making it, too.

    WOW, this oil is exceptional! Kickin good! I made it about a week ago and finally got to try it last night.Rubbed it on some veggies before I roasted them, what a treat! As mentioned by the first reviewer, it would make great gifts, I am looking for some fancy little bottles to put another batch in to give as little extras for Christmas. As suggested we tried it as an appy with French bread chunks and added garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, Nuuummmmy!! We will be doing that again! Thanks for sharing a very versitile recipe!!
