Nailah's Note

I love infused olive oils. I love to make my own, if you can't find it in grocery stores; try this recipe.

Garlic and Shallot Olive Oil

2 small shallots
2 cloves of garlic, quartered
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Put olive oil in a small sautè pan. Turn on heat to med-low sautè the shallots and garlic for 3 minutes. Keep the oil and put the garlic and shallots in a stir-fry or on a pizza.
