Herb Infused Olive Oil

I gave this a try for the first time for a table I did this week and I thought I would show you how to make it.  

 I had these herbs growing in my garden so I just went outside and snipped for the recipe as follows.

Italian Herb Infused Olive Oil

6 fresh basil leaves

2 sprigs of thyme

2 sprigs of rosemary

2 sprigs of oregano

1 1/2 cup of olive oil

Just rinse your herbs, pat dry, and mix into the olive oil.  It will keep refrigerated 2-3 days.   You can use this as a base to salad dressings, in recipes instead of seasonings, or drizzle it on bread.  It is meant to be concentrated so a little goes a long way.  Note: if I made it again I would use less rosemary.  It is the strongest flavored herb and it seemed to over power the other flavors. This was the first time I had tried to make this so it was trial and error.  Recipe source is http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/italian-herb-infused-olive-oil/Detail.aspx
