After completing the 100 mile challenge for nearly a week now, Alexa's hot sauce addiction is becoming especially apparent. Mood swings, cold sweats, and cramps all from no hot sauce! Something had to be done. This homemade hot oil is easy to make and a great way to add some kick to your dishes!
Fill a saucepan with the local oil of your choice, in this case locally cold pressed sunflower oil from the Tall Grass Bakery, bring to high heat and add hot peppers. I used cayenne peppers which pack a nice punch (I dried them out in the oven for 15 minutes). Simmer in the hot oil for 10 minutes or so, being careful not to burn the oil. Toss in a bottle and use in the place of cooking oil or drizzle on salads etc!
