Everything Herb Oil

A versatile flavoring highlighting the garden at its peak.  You'll find yourself reaching to it to use on everything from savory breakfast to salad dressings to a refined finish on meats, fish, poultry and veggies.

Ingredients

• 2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley
• 1 cup packed basil
• 1/4 cup chives
• 1/2 cup chopped garlic scapes, OR 3 scallions + 1 small garlic clove, OR 1/3 cup chives + 1 small garlic clove
• 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1. Wash the herbs and dry them very thoroughly.
2. Add herbs, scapes (or substitute), olive oil, and salt to a blender.
3. Blend until vivid green and smooth. For a rustic oil, leave it unstrained; for a finer finishing oil, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve.
4. Refrigerate what you will use within several days. Freeze the rest in small cubes or 2-4 tablespoon portions. Thaw as needed, use as a finishing oil at the end, do not cook into food.

Versatility: This beautiful green oil can adapt to become a finishing oil, vinaigrette, green steak sauce, preserved-lemon dressing, fish sauce, and more.

We add this on top of eggs, top our grilled and roasted meats and poultry, add to potatoes, fresh corn salad, and as a base for salad dressings, dips and more.
