Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium medium onion, finely chopped (approximately 150 g)
  • 6-8 cloves cloves of garlic, minced (approximately 45 g)
  • 1 cup olive oil or coconut oil
Optional Ingredients
  • few sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme For added benefits

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic to release their essential oils.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, and your choice of oil (olive or coconut).
Cooking
  1. Heat over low to medium heat, infusing the oil for 15-20 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the onion is translucent.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Straining and Storing
  1. Carefully strain the oil into a glass jar or bottle to separate the solid components.
  2. If using optional herbs, add them to the strained oil.
  3. Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place. The oil can keep for up to a month.

Notes

For stronger aroma, mash the garlic before adding to oil. Avoid high temperatures to prevent burning. Ensure the oil cools completely before sealing to prevent condensation.
