How to Make Cilantro Oil Guam

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch 1 cup of packed fresh cilantro for 20 seconds.
  2. Immediately transfer the cilantro to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Remove cilantro from ice water, drain thoroughly, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  4. In a blender, combine the dried cilantro and 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  5. Blend on medium speed for 3 minutes, until the cilantro is finely pureed and the oil is vibrant green.
  6. Pour the cilantro-oil mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean glass jar.
  7. Refrigerate overnight to allow the oil to settle and the solids to separate.
  8. After settling, carefully pour the clear green oil into a clean, airtight glass bottle or spray bottle, leaving behind the sediment.
  9. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator. This oil will keep for up to two weeks, after which it may lose some of its vibrant color and flavor.
  10. Enjoy your homemade Cilantro Oil! Drizzle it over your favorite dishes for an instant flavor boost.
