Herb Oil

Herb Oil

Having infused oil on hand is the key to making more interesting sauces, dressings, sautés, you name it. It’s also great for drizzling on dishes to finish. The microwave makes it in minutes — try it with different herb combinations to find your favorite flavors.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, picked or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary rosemary, picked or finely chopped
  • 2 2-inch strips lemon peel, or 1 teaspoon of zested lemon skin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation

  1. Place all the ingredients into the Anyday dish. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until oil is bubbling and very fragrant. CAUTION: Dish will be extremely hot, so make sure to use oven mitts or a dish towel when handling. Make sure to place the hot dish on a trivet — do NOT place on a cold countertop or in a wet sink.
  3. Strain the oil and allow it to cool before using. If you want to freeze for future use, let the oil cool and then pour into ice cube trays and place in the freezer. NOTE: only olive oil will solidify when frozen. Make sure not to use any other oil, otherwise it will remain liquid.
