Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large bowl, toss all of the ingredients together until evenly combined. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Step 2.
For the Herb Oil: In a 1-quart mason jar, combine all of the herbs, zest, chile, and peppercorns.
-
Step 3.
Pour both oils into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 200°F, using a thermometer to check.
-
Step 4.
Pour the hot oils into the jar with the herbs and spices. Cover the jar with a clean kitchen towel and let it stand at room temperature overnight (about 12 hours).
-
Step 5.
The next day, place a piece of cheesecloth over the top of the jar and screw on the outer rim of the lid to secure it. Invert the jar over a container and let the oil strain through the cheesecloth. Discard the solids. Transfer the strained herb oil to a clean container for storage.
