Ingredients
 

Chive Oil

  • 1 cup fresh chives roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt pinch

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chives: Roughly chop the chives to help them blend easily.
  • Blend: Add the chives, olive oil, and salt to a blender and blend for 45–60 seconds until smooth and bright green.
  • Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar.
  • Settle: Allow the oil to sit for about 10 minutes so any fine particles settle.
  • Finish: Carefully pour the clear green oil off the top into a clean jar.

Notes

Blend thoroughly for the brightest color and strain gently without pressing the solids. Allowing the oil to settle briefly produces a clearer finish.
