Tips:

  • Choose the right olives: Cerignola olives are large, meaty, and have a slightly sweet flavor. They are the perfect olive for this recipe.

  • Be careful not to burn the garlic and chili peppers: Garlic and chili peppers can burn easily, so be careful not to cook them over high heat. If you see the garlic or chili peppers starting to brown, remove them from the heat immediately.
  • Let the oil cool before using: The oil needs to cool completely before you use it. This will allow the flavors of the garlic and chili peppers to infuse into the oil.
  • Use the oil within a few weeks: The oil will keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator. However, the flavor will be best if you use it within a few days.
