Crispy Chilli Oil by Five O Clock Apron
  1. Put shallots, garlic, ginger & oil in a saucepan. Heat over moderate/high heat, stirring carefully & often until faintly golden. Remove with slotted spoon & keep to one side.

  2. Add chilli & fry in the same oil over moderate high heat for 2-3 mins, don't let the chilli colour. Add nuts & seeds & fry a couple more minutes, don't let chilli or nuts/seeds burn. You want soft squishy cooked chilli & faintly golden nuts/seeds.

  3. In a dry pan over medium heat gently toast spices for a couple mins, don't burn them. Remove from heat & add salt, sugar & bay leaves.

  4. Put bay & spice mix in heat proof, high sided bowl. Add the golden shallot mix, then carefully pour over the hot chilli oil into the bowl. It will bubble up.

  5. Cool for 5 mins. Use a funnel to pour chilli oil into clean sterilised jars.
