Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quality olive oil

- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric (optional)
Method
- On a medium heat add the olive oil in a large saucepan (or wok).
- Add the garlic cloves, chilli and turmeric making sure they are gently cooking.
- Stir frequently to keep the contents moving, as they become sticky and can stick to the base of the pan and burn.
- Cook gently on a medium to low heat until the garlic turns golden and soft - the oil thickens and becomes a little sticky and a heavenly aroma fills the air!
- Allow to cool before transferring into an airtight glass container and keep for up to 3 weeks.
