One of my favourite seasoning tools are scented oils. They are easy to prepare and keep for a while, so that they are always on hand when I need to give a dish the final touch.

Here are two of my favourites:

MAGNOLIA’s
Black Olives Oil and Passion Fruit Oil

Ingredients:- (10 portions each)

Black Olives Oil
25 gr black olives (deseeded)
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 chili, deseeded
Seasalt, pepper
250 ml olive oil

Passion Fruit Oil
50 ml passion fruit mark
50 ml acacia honey
150 ml olive oil

Methods:-

1. Blend all ingredients for the olive finely and keep chilled and dark.

2. Cook passion fruit and honey for 15 minutes, chill and mix with the oil. Keep chilled

Chef’s tip

Black Olive Oil is wonderful to garnish a Summer Vegetable Salad or Grilled Summer Vegetables.

Passion Fruit Oil I use to give my Radish Carpaccio with Wasabi Avocado Mayonnaise a sweet counterpart. (See next blog recipe)
