Lupin Free Bright Italian Herb Oil
This vibrant herb oil is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Warm olive oil draws out the deep green color and bold fragrance of fresh basil and parsley, while a hit of red pepper flakes and lemon zest keep things lively and bright. The garlic-infused oil does the heavy lifting on flavor without requiring any chopping, so the whole process is beautifully simple. Because it's built entirely from whole herbs, quality oils, and pantry spices, there's nothing hidden to worry about — no flour blends, no legume-based thickeners, just clean, straightforward ingredients. Straining out the spent herbs leaves you with a glossy, jewel-toned oil that looks stunning on the table. Use it as a dipping oil for crusty bread, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, or spoon it onto grilled fish — it genuinely elevates almost anything. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.

8 servings
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, packed
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, packed
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves (or 1 tsp dried oregano)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Roughly chop the basil and parsley leaves on a cutting board, or bruise them lightly with a mortar and pestle until the leaves are broken down and fragrant — this helps release their color and flavor into the oil.
- 2
Combine the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic-infused olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm until the oil is just hot to the touch and shimmers slightly, about 2–3 minutes — do not let it simmer or smoke.
