Hot Chili Oil

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried red chili pepper (stems removed)

Directions

1. 1

   Put the dried peppers in a dry frypan and set stovetop heat on high. (I use a camping stove outside) .

   Toast, roast, stir and toss the peppers until they get dark in areas but are still basically red and they become very AROMATIC.

   Let them cool a bit and then put them in a food processor with the oil.

   Process for a few moments.

   Pour into a nice container and keep it on your table.
