Chilli Oil

Dedicating this one to the queen of chilli, my friend Kayana! Thank you for encouraging my chilli love over our travels together! This one isn’t too hot but gives everything a good little hit!

Ingredients
7-10 dried whole chilli
1 tablespoon dry chilli flakes
3 tablespoons salt
2.5 cups canola oil

Method
Chop up all of the dried chilli into small pieces using scissors into a deep pot.
Add the dried chilli flakes and salt to the pot and stir well.
Add the oil and heat over a medium flame for around 2 hours, stirring occasionally so that the salt dissolves.
Divide the oil into sterilised jars (add some large pieces of fresh chilli for a few days if you want that extra spice!) allow to cool with the lids off.
Once cooled seal tight with the lids and keep in a cool place.
