Delicious condiments are akin to fairy dust sprinkled over virtuous food which makes it insanely tasty. And this healthy Peanut and Ginger Chilli Oil is a prime example of that. Its actually our Homespun take on an original recipe by Trish Deseine for the Gloss magazine which we recreated with our Chicory Root syrup for some gut healthy prebiotic fibre and plant-based sweetness (which contrasts beautifully with the spice). Drizzle this oil on eggs, salads, veggies, steaks and more!

RECIPE MAKES 1 JAR

INGREDIENTS

• 200ml sunflower oil

• 5/6 cloves of garlic finely chopped

• 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger

• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (more or less depending on your heat preference!)

• 3/4 tbsps peanuts, lightly crushed

• 2 tbsps sesame seeds

• 1 tbsp soy sauce (we love Classic Soy sauce from Irish brand Fused)

• 1 tbsp Homespun Chicory Root syrup

Method

Heat the oil in a small pan and fry the garlic. Take it off the heat just as it becomes pale to golden. Add the chilli and stir, then the ginger, the sesame and the crushed peanuts, and finally the Chicory Root syrup and soy sauce. Leave to cool and infuse, stirring here and there. Check the level of seasoning is right for you, then pour into a jar and seal. The flavours will continue to develop beautifully over the next day
