Rapid infusion is a super easy and time-efficient way to inject liquid ingredients with intense flavour. Using this pioneering technique, you can make this wonderfully fragrant basil and garlic-infused oil in no time. Replace the basil with fresh oregano, rosemary or thyme, or create a signature herb-combination following the same technique.
Ingredients
-
- 50 g fresh basil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 250 ml extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
To ensure a smooth cooking experience, please read the Smartwhip care and safety guidelines before usage.
-
- Roughly chop the fresh basil and garlic, and place them in the cream dispenser along with the olive oil.
- Connect your Smartwhip to the cream dispenser and charge it to 17 bar. Disconnect your Smartwhip and shake the cream dispenser for 5-10 seconds to evenly distribute the gas, then set it aside for 1 hour to infuse.
- When the indicated time has passed, hold the cream dispenser upright and press the lever to release the pressurised gas completely.
Tip: Hold a bowl above the nozzle of the cream dispenser to catch any liquid that might spray out. - Remove the lid of the cream dispenser and strain the basil and garlic-infused oil into a container.
Serving
The basil and garlic-infused oil is perfect for dipping, cooking, salad sauces and much, much more. Experiment with the virtues of rapid infusion following this technique and enrich your meals with new flavours.
