Preparation After having washed the chives, insert it into a bottle that you have previously sterilised.

Add the other spices to the bottle and cover well with the olive oil.

Close the bottle hermetically and let it rest for at least 3 weeks.
 
The Chef's tips This aromatic oil is well suited to flavour tartare dishes or tasty salads with radishes or rocket.
 
Curiosity The water contained in fresh chives may cause the oil to go rancid. To avoid this problem from arising, add 5% of course salt.
