Lemon-flavoured oil

Lemon-flavoured oil recipe

Preparation:

1. Remove the peel from the lemons with a sharp knife or peeler. The yellow bit, not the white pith underneath. Just the peel. 

   

2. Plunge the peel into boiling water for a couple of minutes to blanch it and remove any bitter taste.
3. Put the peel in a glass jar and fill with Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain, then simmer the jar in abain marie for 2 hours so the flavours gently infuse. Leave to rest for at least 24 hours. Patience!

   

4. The next day, strain the oil to remove any peel. 

   

5. Pour the oil into a clean, dry bottle. 

   

6. Keep in a cool, dark place so it retains all its flavour.
