Basil and Green Peppercorn Oil

Infused oils are simple to prepare and add a burst of flavor to a variety of dishes. This oil combination is infused with the summer flavor of basil and the bite of green peppercorns. Fresh and grassy, nutty and zesty, use this oil to add a mild peppery accent to steamed or grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, and vinaigrettes or to make Carrot and Sunflower Sprout Salad, if you like.
