Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large lemon
- 1 cup olive oil
Preparation:
- Scrub lemon clean and dry thoroughly. Use a very sharp paring knife or peeler to remove the zest - just the bright yellow part of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith immediately below - from the lemon.
- Put lemon zest and olive oil in a small sauce pan and warm over medium heat. Do not allow oil to simmer. Keep the oil just below a simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove oil form heat and let cool.
- Strain lemon zest out of the oil and put the now lemon-infused oil in a clean jar. Store in a cool, dark place.
