Roasted garlic and rosemary?!

[Raza]

Okay, foodie update. I’m flying home today, I’ll arrive tomorrow, with the travel time and time difference. After that, once I get my bearings back, I’ll upload the French Laundry pictures and some from my other meals out here, which have been by and large excellent.

Roasted garlic and rosemary?!

Confited in olive oil. The garlic cloves melt and absorb the flavour of the rosemary and the olive oil picks up the rosemary and garlic flavours. The skin keeps the garlic in shape. When you want to use one pull it out of the oil and squeeze.

That leftover garlic-and-rosemary infused oil is begging to have some split chilis tossed in. I'd drizzle that $#!% on everything.

I prefer keeping my chile oil and my garlic oil separate. I make my chile oil from cayennes as they grow best out here. My indoor Scotch bonnet experiment is progressing well though, so who knows about next years.

Well if you cant get behind garlic-and-chile oil I'm going to have to reconsider the inscription in your Christmas card this year.

I didn't say I can't get behind chile oil and garlic oil used together... I like to play with the levels of the two.
For instance tomorrow I am planning to use the garlic rosemary oil on some chicken legs. With the starch and side I am planning I want less chile flavour, but not less garlic flavour.

Seafood pie for lunch. Scallops, shrimp, cod and smoked salmon with a potato crust.



Cold beet and carrot soup in the evening. Not shown- chive biscuits.

Infusing the oil just means you leave stuff in it for a while, right?
