Spicy Garlic Oil

This stuff is like liquid gold . . .


Use as a dipping oil for bread.  Drizzle on pizza.  Add a little when browning hamburger and onions for spaghetti sauce to give your sauce some extra flavor.  You can use it anytime in place of olive oil when you want to add some spice.  It is super simple to make and smells heavenly!

1/2 cup Olive Oil (any kind, does not need to be extra virgin)
2 teaspoons Paprika
2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
2 cloves Garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.  Remove pan from heat and let cool for 30 minutes before using.

Store in a jar in the refrigerator.  It will keep for 3 months.  There will be some separation and the oil will thicken as it chills, so remove it from the refrigerator an hour or so before using and stir well.
 
Enjoy!
