"Can I have 'nother Fosters?"


Preparation time: 10 minutes      Cooking time: 5 minutes     Spice level: Regorrific!


Ingredients (for ½ pint of chilli oil)
250ml of sunflower oil
4 medium-sized dried red chillies
One clean glass bottle

Instructions

Cut all four chillies into small pieces, then using a mortar and pestle,  grind the chilli skin and seeds into flakes. Pour the oil into a pan and bring to the boil, then take the pan off the heat and allow to cool down to warm. Place your chilli flakes into the oil and stir for 5 minutes. When cold, put the chilli oil into a perfectly clean glass bottle and leave for two weeks. After this, your chilli oil is ready to use.
