Chilli oil is fabulous for spicing up a stir fry, pizza or for that matter anything bland or needing a bit of 'oomph'. I used De Cecco Extra Virgin Oil as my base as its always good to use quality oil and I had a couple of bottles of these given by my father-in-law and partner from their time in Italia. We had a some extra hot chillies growing in the garden and I chopped a few of these and fried them for a few minutes in the olive oil. I also added about 5 whole ones ( as the chillies were of a smallish variety) to the hot oil to kill off any nasties. I then let the oil cool and poured it into a oil drizzler. Voila! Go on, try it yourself. Ann x
