Coriander Infused Tea Oil

Prep Time: 10 mins
Ready in: 10 mins

Suitable for:  Salad, Sauce/Condiment

The stability of tea oil means this delicious infused oil will store in the fridge for a few weeks without spoiling. It's particularly nice over Asian flavoured stir fries, grilled organic chicken and salads.

Ingredients
1 bunch Coriander
350 ml Phase 5 Extra Virgin Camellia Tea Oil

Preparation:
Scrape the roots and wash the coriander leaves. Place the whole bunch in boiling water for 20 seconds then blot dry in absorbent towel. Squeeze any moisture from the bunch.

Method:
Blend the oil with the coriander in a food processor until smooth. Strain through muslin and decant into a bottle.
Note: Polyunsaturated oils should be stored in the fridge. Don't worry if they become cloudy, the oil is still safe to use and will clear at room temperature. Olive oil and tea oil can be safely stored in a cool dark pantry.

Makes 20 tbsp servings

Tea Oil Mayonnaise


Prep Time: 10 mins
Ready in: 10 mins

Traditional French mayonnaise made with whole eggs and oil is delicious and much better for you than commercial mayonnaise made with sugar, emulsifiers, and other additives. Sadly though in our weight-obsessed society, food with a high-energy value is demonised, and mayonnaise has been blacklisted over the years. Like everything it boils down to how much you eat. If you enjoy it this excellent version made with tea oil, and eat it in moderation you, like French women, won't get fat!

Ingredients
2 Free range egg yolks
pinch Sea salt
3/4 cup Phase 5 Extra Virgin Tea Oil
45 ml White balsamic vinegar

Method:
In a food processor add the egg yolks and salt. With the motor running slowly add the oil drop by drop until it's thick and creamy. Then add the vinegar drop by drop.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Makes 1 cup.

Note: The risk of contracting salmonella poisoning from raw eggs is extremely low, particularly eggs from healthy free range chickens, however, pregnant women and the elderly should avoid eating products made from raw eggs.

Makes 8 servings
