    Everyday Herb Oil

    How to Make Everyday Herb Oil

    This herb infused olive oil makes a great base for a vinaigrette or a simple seasoning for fish, chicken, or vegetables. For this recipe, I use a combination of parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme, but you should feel free to experiment with whatever herbs you have on hand or growing in your herb garden.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set it nearby.
    2. Add the parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme leaves to the boiling water. Blanch the herbs for 10-15 seconds, then immediately remove the herbs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice water. After a few seconds, remove the herbs from the ice water with a slotted spoon and pat them dry with paper towels.
    3. In a blender or food processor, puree the blanched herbs with the olive oil.
    4. Pour the herb oil into a dark-colored glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid, seal the container, and set in a cool, dark place (such as your pantry) to infuse for at least 5 days. After it has been fully infused, keep the oil in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. Or freeze the herb oil in ice cube trays for future use. (Note that each ice cube is 2 tablespoons of oil.)

    Roasted Pineapple Salsa

    How to Make Roasted Pineapple Salsa

    Pineapple and high temperatures were made for each other, and this recipe concentrates the flavors with a quick skillet roast. That said, if the weather is nice, an outdoor grill will do the job just as well. Mixed with the right amount of pepper to give a Southwestern kick, this sweet, spicy combination is especially tasty on warm tortilla chips.
