Heidi'S Magic Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves, fresh ⓘ
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika ⓘ
- 2 medium garlic cloves, smashed into a paste ⓘ
- 1 bay leaf, well-crumbled ⓘ
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, pinch ⓘ
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ⓘ
Instructions
- Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot. When hot remove from heat.
- While the oil is heating, lightly pound the rosemary, thyme, and oregano in a mortar and pestle.
- Stir the paprika, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, and salt into the oil. Then add the bruised herbs and lemon juice.
- You can use this now, but know - the oil just gets better as it ages over a few days. Keep it in a refrigerator for up to a week/ten days-ish. It thickens up when cold, so if you need it in a liquid state, place it in the sun or in a warm place for a few minutes.
- Makes ~2/3 cup.
