When I worked in a MS restaurant we used a slightly different method. Put the greens and oil in a thermomix, blend at 65°C for 10 minutes, filter with a cheese cloth into a piping bag. Put the piping bag into a freezer overnight, then move it into a fridge for another 24h. Then you have a complete separation of the oil from the water, and you can get rid of the water just like shown in the video. The reason for this process is to avoid the deterioration of aromatics and chlorophyll at high temperatures, and, by freezing, to completely separate the oil from the water. That's because vegetable cells do contain some binding factors that can bind fats and water in particles called "micelles" during the blending process, and we want avoid that as much as possible.
This video is for home cooks, says so in the title.
@@Smitho94 Not too difficult to replicate even without a thermo. Most blenders will heat the product up through the friction generated by the motor, even a cheap hamilton beach will eventually hit 65 degrees. The rest of the steps are somewhat easier to achieve a consistent product than those that are in the video.
Merci
@@Smitho94at no point in the comment did he state otherwise haha
Just yes! Thank you from Germany. That sounds great. We have a lot of "Wild Garlic" Bärlauch.
The piping bag trick is GENIUS it’s like separatory funnel!
Wild garlic is hard to find in my part of the world, but garlic chives, aka onion grass, is a plentiful springtime substitute. Just do the foraging before the first lawnmowing of the season.
You can use all onion greens for this recipe and many herbs :)
You can use garlic chives or onion grass🥰
This is exactly the channel I was looking for
That is great, enjoy ;)
Ikr, same! I am working on presentation skills at the moment and this channel has just upped my game big time. This man is a genius of his craft.
The piping bag trick is genius. I was nodding in agreement throughout the video until that point! Thanks you have just saved me a good few portions of extra oil
Glad you like it
Guys please use this within a few weeks if refrigerated and even faster if stored at room temperature. The heat does not fully destroy the spores that can develop into botulinum bacteria and the anaerobic environment in the oil is the perfect place for it.
Last spring I found lots of wild garlic and onion plants in a park and little forest by my house . This coming spring I will harvest it and make green oil . Thank you for the recipe ❤. God bless
Amazing! I am so making this! Will try a different herb. No wonder my oil was never that green! Thank you so much! You are the best!
You are welcome ;)
Perfect method, no fluid involved, all the flavor is in the oil.
Beautiful. Here we have wild garlic from end Jan. I always make some pesto from it. Big brunch of wild garlic, handful of cashew nuts, olive oil, salt. Process it into a cream. I use it for pasta dishes, marinating white meat or fish. Bread spread. Wild garlic is a really blessing from nature.
Do you like wild garlic? 😜
How you make basil oil , or red peppers coulis ?
Чеснок мы любим, только вы готовить не умеете.
Dude I love it so much we did 2x full biiig bathtub last year (made ice cubes out of it to add in any dishes ;)
Just one advise, put list of ingredients & quantity in the description and say how long it can be kept!!! (I know itʼs hard to say some times but you can precise itʼs an estimation ;) that will make you win many likes
I will start to say for how long you can keep it, many people asking about. That is a good idea
But about measures and ingredients. Maybe I would get more likes, not sure about but how you see there are not many recipes on the channel. And that is on purpose. It will help people to learn cooking more in the long run if I don't give them recipes, that is why I do that.
Yes! Have it all over our farm!!!
Looks a great colour! Have you ever extracted the chlorophyll from spinach? It can be used to colour anything a vibrant green - pasta, oils, soups, sauces etc.
Just blend raw spinach with a small amount of water, strain out solids and discard, boil remaining liquid and strain again through cheese cloth. Use it right away or you can leave it to dry and grind it to a powder.
I never did that with spinach to be honest, but I guess it can work.
@@ChefMajk you are so nice and humble, any other chef would have said "I already know how to do that"
Thank you Chef
for me is best way to say the truth ;)
@@ChefMajkchef what kind of sieves and cloth do you use to strain? Are there different sieves with finer mesh? Which ones are good to use for sifting flour or other things like a purée to get smoother textures?
You are a treasure, thank you for sharing your talent! 💟💟💟
Thanks Chef. Amazing work. I look forward to the next project. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪
The piping bag trick is genius!!
If I don’t have garlic leaves, what can I substitute for it? Or can I use the garlic cloves with other green leaves?
No you need only green leaves, parsley, basil etc.
@@ChefMajk ok thanks 👍
This looks interesting chef.
I normally blanch and shock then purée with oil. I’m going to try this way. Pipe’n bag technique I think is cool
The pipe’n bag technique also works when you want to clarify butter or duck fat, just as a tip :)
Chef Majk , you are number one.
Thanks Nikolai :)
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for
That sounds interesting. Season starts soon for us, so i can give it a try with the fresh stuff. I wonder about one thing, though: how do you get that cloth for filtering clean? Isn't that a normal thin rag from a roll of rags? I'm sure i had those before. How do you clean them before first use? Just some cooking water? Because no matter what i use they still smell slightly like chemicals or washing powder.
Then use clean cheese cloth.
Looks delicious! What do I pair garlic oil with?
wild garlic is no longer in season so is there anywhere you can buy this from? or whats the best alternative to use instead of the garlic?
Not sure how are options in your country but you can use parsley or coriander instead
If you are in the USA ramp greens will come pretty close.
thats really nice colour
Que rico 😋 buena receta gracias por el video
Why do you heat the oil and herbs? For sterilisation or for taste and aromatic infusion? Because I thought that the aromatic compounds are sensitive to heat.
To get better color, if you just blend it cold it will be not really green
Is the oil flavored and colored or just colored? Beautiful by the way
This wild garlic oil is very powerful with garlic flavor
Wow!!! This innovation. Thank you so much.🙏
You truly are CHEF MAJIK
Could this technique be applied to Coriander?
Yes sure
I have to make 30 litre green oil, what is the best suggestion for quick making ?
Same as you would do 1 liter. Do what you can fit in one blender and repeat how many times you want to
Very nice recipe chef, I make it the same way and it’s perfect, a big greeting from Dublin👍😊
That is great, thanks :)
can it be made with olive oil instead?
Yes it could be the color would not be the best
i wish i could have hit the thumb up button for hundreds time. very nice video chef. wow !
I wish that as well :)
Lovely. Simple and very effective finish
Chef, please, if I use dill and parsley will it give me the same result? And if only dill is enough to give me a strong green color?
Yes it will work even with dill but you have to use plenty of it
I love this your all video chef 👩🍳 thanks
Love the vibrance green colour!!!! This will make any simple dishes look pretty and taste better!!!❤️ Thank you for sharing!!!
By the way, how long can I keep the oil for?
Around 1 month should be still good, then I am not sure, never test it.
@@ChefMajk Thanks chef 🙏🏻
Do i have to strain?
How long will it last on fridge? Or on counter?
For few weeks
Hi chef, I never realised this was so easy, thank you for sharing! Now I was wondering, is this the general method to do this? For example can I make basil oil the same way? Or maybe even use something like beetroot for a purple oil?
With basil probably yes, with beetroot I never did that. Maybe I will try it one day.
If you use a lighter olive oil, the oleic acid in the oil will probably keep the oil more ruby colored and less prone to darken, but it sounds attractive.
fantastic! everything is great thank you
Chef, how long do you think it would be safe to keep?
Probably few weeks
It safe about 4-5 days. Week max
Thank you, this was helpful.
Hello I want to make this with mint for a dessert is it the same process?
Yes
Great video!
Our wild garlic season is over but I have bags of leaves in the freezer. Do you think I can use defrosted leaves? Thanks
No they lost probably most of the color
awesome chef Majk - going to make it now - will use this with my lobster salad... thx 4 the idea!
Yes for sure it will work, try to use also any fruit, that is always cool with lobster. Mango, papaya, etc.
@@ChefMajk hi - I got grapefruit - no skins and I made a soft mayo with apple cider vinegar, creme fresh and mustard mixed in with garlic, salt and pepper as the sauce as the dressing - This with avo, lettuce and thinly sliced red onion.. keeping some of the lobster shells for PRESENTATION :)
Michelin star tire oil
What do you use this for?
Mostly plating
@@ChefMajk I'd like a cheeseburger.
you are amazing. Please also turn on Turkish subtitles
Hello Chef, thanks again for this recipe! How long can you keep this fresh in the fridge?
Few weeks
@@ChefMajk Thank you!
Is this for cooking or just plating?
Both
Great video. For the piping bag, what is it that sunk to the bottom and you removed? If I don't do that step, will the oil clog a nozzle? Thanks a lot!
That is dirty watter basically. It will clean your oil
@@ChefMajk Thank you! :)
Thank you Chef for sharing, is there an alternative for garlic leaves
Yes any other green leaves parsley basil dill etc.
How come the heat from oil doesn’t discolor the herbs ?
how long will this stay fresh in the fridge/outside? thanks
For sure in the fridge, for few weeks probably
Hey Maj, how long can you store this oil until it goes bad?
Depends on what is bad for you...probably be a few weeks for me
how much oil did you put and how much garlic leaves and parsley,thanks
More leaves - better color and taste. Use how much you want
Tks, chef!
Chef what is the reason you boil till 90, is it necessary to boil
Yes you have to blitz with hot oil
Great technique
i want to make the oil thicker for my food plating can suggest ideas
If you do it properly, the oil is thick enough. You just need to know how to use it.
Hi chef. I’m addicted to your channel. Do you have a book with your recipes?
No I don't
Excellent channel!
Perfect, I just picked so much ramson!
Hi, I did the oil but I do not have the vibrant green I would want. Can I use my kind of green oil to restart or I need new oil? Thanks so much
Is better to do new one
@@ChefMajk many thanks for your answer!
Do you know why we heat the oil? I am curious to understand
To get better color
The garlic in this recipe is most likely 'Allium microdictyon Prokh'. It is a common vegetable in Asia. The leaves of this vegetable have a spicy garlicky flavor.
Yes we call it wild garlic :)
hello chef, i saw other ppl use boiled water instead and it got the same result. I’m wondering what’s the difference between boiled water and hot oil ?
Its same thing...with water it is just one more step
Chef ,do you use the same amount of oil as 🌿 herbs?
The more herbs you use better oil you get.
@@ChefMajk yes chef
Hi Chef, may I ask what the ratio of greens to oil should be?
No ratio...more greens, better oil.
Nice job chef !!
Thanks ;)
For how long time can I put it in the in the frize??
Not sure, never did that. And don't see really the reason for that. In the fridge, it will be good for a month
@@ChefMajk thank you !excuse me about my english i I meant to say fridge.wish for you to have good inspirations :)
Hi chef. Is it 90 degrees F or C?
C
How long does it last?
Few weeks probably
What's the substitute of the wild garlic leaves?
Got the recipe for green oil!
Is there anything else there can be used than thoose wild garlic leaves???
Yes any green herbs basically
What kind of a cloth are you using?
Doesn't really matter, you can you anything
Great recipe chef! May i use parsley instead of dill? Ιs there any difference in the precedure?
Yes you can use parsley as well
Is there any PH considerations? Especially parsley stored in oil could have potential botulism issues, as 90 degrees is to low to kill botulinum prefringens, or the shelf life, even in a fridge, must be extremely short
I saw oil like this in the restaurants for 2 weeks used easily
How much sodium metabisulfite we could add to keep it longer in the fridge ?
Hi Chef, How long can the oil last before it is unusable? Thanks
Few weeks probably
El residuo tiene algún uso ?
tres joli. Est ce que ca se conserve longtemps?
This is advance recipe for me. nice
Hey I made it and it was really good, but now the oil froze in the fridge and a brown film has formed all the way down the bottle, can it still be used? Why was that brown layer formed?
Not sure why brown is there, but it will be good to use probably if the taste is alright
Can I only use coriander?
Yes, you can
Hi chef! This was amazing. My only question is, what do you do with the leftover pulp?
What is pulp?
@@ChefMajk sorry for the wrong wording, I meant after you have squeezed out the oil from the leaves, what do you do to them. Do you discard them or do they still have a little bit of flavour left in them?
@@veryfertile2335 I never used it for anything.
Chef what is the ratio for herbs to oil roughly please? I'm doing this tonight with green peppers
More herbs = more color and taste. The ratio is up to you
3 year old video so I doubt this will get answered... but how long does this oil keep in a squeeze bottle?
Few days for sure, even week
Great video
How long does it keep refrigerated?
Thanks again!
2-3 weeks
Can i make green oil from parsley and estragon ?
Yes ofc, great combination
Hi Chef !
How long will it stay tasty and fresh? What’s your recommendation for storage?
Few weeks for sure in the fridge
Hey Majk, I have just one question and that is: how long will that oil last in the fridge or storage?
2-3 weeks for sure. Then probably even more but I never really test it.
@@ChefMajk Thank you, and just for you to know I really like your cooking, keep doing it and you are the best😊
@@lukajurak1270 thanks for your support ;)
You cook the oil ?????
May I ask the Chef how long these oils normally last? I’d aim 2-3 weeks at least to be reasonable in a standard restaurant environment.. Thank you!
Yes few weeks is ok for sure
Can I add some flour to make coral ?!
Yes you can
Thanks chef
Hi Chef how long can I store this green oil for?
For few weeks
Wow very nice
I love the smell of chopped parsley
you're a legend
🫠
I like the way u Cook bro 🎉
Could one reduce it further, make crystals? 🤔
reduce oil?
