Bay Leaf

Bay leaves are a fragrant leaf from the laurel tree used as an herb. Bay leaves are available whole—either fresh or dried—or ground into a powder. The leaves are added to slow-cooked recipes, such as soups, sauces, and stews, and are removed before serving the dish. They have a floral and herbal scent reminiscent of oregano and thyme and are used more often than any other herb.

This is the base Chili Oil recipe with Grapeseed Oil substituted for the Vegetable Oil. I'm aiming for a more neutral oil flavor.

Sichuan Chile Oil (ChiliOil6)
Brewed on 2024-05-07

Similar to (ChiliOil4) this was split in to two containers; one for my father. The main difference with this one is that I toasted some of the spices before adding them to the oil.
