Supplementary Recipes Chat / Re: Spiced oil from a BIR
June 13, 2014, 03:24 PMQuote from: John on March 12, 2006, 10:13 PM
i've just come across a website that shows how to make a basic version of Spiced Oil.
Heres the site for anyone thats interested http://www.experimentalkitchen.org/article.php/2005040318292155
and heres the recipe they show:
------------------------------------------------
Infused oils are incredibly versatile, they can be used to replace plain oil in a favorite recipe or they can be used as a condiment on finished dishes.
This recipe can be easily halved, if you doubt your ability to use up a whole cup of infused oil.
1 cup canola oil
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup curry powder
1/4 cup water
1. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the shallot to a small saucepan. Heat over low to medium low heat until the shallot is translucent and soft. Do not brown the shallot (this is called "sweating".)
2. Add the curry and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the water. Turn up heat and bring the water to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer gently until most of the water is gone, leaving a paste.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the oil.
6. Put into a lidded glass jar and leave at room temperature for a few hours, shaking the jar occasionally.
7. Strain through a coffee filter into a clean glass jar (leaving overnight if necessary to finish straining).
8. Keep refrigerated when not using.
Not a bad oil base, can I recommend the addition of garlic and fresh coriander w/ the onions.

In fact, that's a key reason why I signed up to his new website several months' ago - just to spy on what's going on and to download the odd recipe which might be worth trying. So far, any benefits have been very few and far between but it's fun to defeat his attempts to keep people like me, out!
;D ;D ;D Like it George. I jumped in with both feet just to see what sort of reception I gotAs you'd expect, being a bit critical of the great man himself, "or shall we call him Sir", I wasn't made very welcome and i got pruned in my prime
;D But it's ok because i'm in stealth mode and undercover. Haven't learnt a damn thing yet. It's simply replication of what's gone on here several times already. But it does serve the purpose of growing the site from perpetrator's point of view. Surprising, how sickly sweet some of the posts are at times though, all very civil but so sycophantic from some individuals. Now i'll just work out what you call yourself George. I've a good idea already though :

The administration of that particular site is mildly cretinous.
