So, say Adios to Hydrogenated oils which are no good for you, and Hola to Healthy and flavorful oils that’s good for you.

Makes: 17 FL Ounce

Garlic Tomato Basil Cooking Oil

What you’re going to need:

1 17 FL Ounce Extra Virgin Olive Oil (E.V.O.O)
1-2 Bubs of Garlic, Peeled
Sun-dried cherry tomatoes
Fresh Basil



Direction:

1. Peel both blubs of Garlic, and add the Basil and sun-dried cherry tomatoes, to the Olive oil.
2. Place the lid on the Olive oil and give it a good shake, then store in a cool dry dark place, for 1-2 weeks before using it. *Highly recommend storing it in your refrigerator*

Step 4 is optional. But, I would highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

3. After one to two-week are up, strain the oil into a different bottle with an easy pouring spout or just place into a spray bottle and your set to go. (before taking this step, you want to give a taste test to make sure the flavors have infused together.)

4. When it comes to placing food into your body, we need to place very close attention to what we consume and how much. So, what comes to mind when you think about food left out in opened spaces, whether it be in a can or in a jar? Botulism! So, now you will see why Living Better Café and Katrina Smith highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

Living Better Café corner:
When it comes to making food in general, you want to make sure that, you don’t give space or air for “Botulism” this nasty little bugger to grow. And then later cause you more problem down the line, which later makes you and everyone else you have prepared this recipe for “SICK”. So, it’s best to refrigerate the oil, it will last in your refrigerator for a month. If the ingredient begins to discolor, discard the oil immediately because of this nasty little bugger has started to grow.

3. Roll the potatoes in the bread crumbs until completely covered.
