How to Make Olive Oil With Anchovies And Chili Peppers

  1. Drain 1 ounce of anchovy fillets and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Finely chop 1 anchovy fillet and place it in a clean, dry 2-cup glass bottle.
  3. Add the remaining whole anchovy fillets (approximately 1 ounce) and 1-2 small red chili peppers, adjusting to your preferred spice level (remove seeds for less heat).
  4. Gently fill the bottle with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, leaving about half an inch of space at the top. Secure the lid tightly.
  5. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least one week, shaking gently every other day to distribute the flavors.
  6. Once infused, strain the oil (optional) for a smoother consistency before using. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 3-6 months.
