How to make it

  • Preparation
  • Heat the oil in a medium pan at medium temperature. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds and whisk them throughout the oil along with the pod. Add fresh herbs and cook until the herbs start to look golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature. Stir the oil. Strain it with a colander in a measuring cup and pour it into an air tight bottle. Keep it in a dark, cool place.
