Ingredients

1 cup canola oil 

3 Serrano chiles, sliced diagonally 

3 sprigs oregano 

1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds 

Preparation

In a small saucepan, combine canola oil, 2 serrano chiles, 2 sprigs oregano, and coriander seeds. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Strain oil into a bottle; discard solids. Add another whole serrano chile and oregano sprig to the oil for garnish. The chile oil can be stored, refrigerated, for a few days; if the oil becomes cloudy, discard immediately.
