Dill oil recipe

This recipe requires preparation in advance!

A recent visit to Nik and Edwina's Cookbook recipes tempted me to add this recipe. We always grow dill in the conservatory otherwise the slugs decimate it, however, because of the heat it tends to go to seed quickly. This seems a great way to use the herb before this happens.

The oil can be stored for up to 2 months in the refrigerator.

Chef's notes

I made my first batch with some rather miserable looking dill. It's been growing in a very hot conservatory and was rather yellowish and leggy. I hacked about 40 grams of dill, more stems than leaves, and picked out any straw-like pieces. After adding 8 tablespoons of olive oil it looked as though it could do with a little more oil, so I did a Jamie Oliver and added a few slugs more. It's now in the fridge, which smells like a freshly trimmed lawn. I think it could go rather well with the frozen Ikea gravadlax we have somewhere.
