Chipotle Oil

"This is my take on Chinese hot oil. The chipotle gives it a smokey taste. It is great as a dip for bread. Great for pan frying, searing, flavoring, or anything you want to add some kick to."

Awesome! I used the amounts written and think the kick is perfect as a compliment oil. It's great as an oil when sautéing and as a condiment on soup. Thank you for the recipe.
