This easy recipe is a great way to create a yummy fresh sage flavored oil, plus the smell of the sage cooking is phenomenal. My favorite way to use the oil cubes is to braise pork tenderloin in the oil.
5 cups fresh sage leaves
3 cups of olive or canola oil
Clean and de-stem about 5 cups of sage and let air dry. Heat 3 cups of olive or canola oil and the sage over medium heat, stirring a few times while cooking and being careful not to let the oil smoke. Cook until the sage becomes crispy and then remove from heat. Transfer the sage with a slotted spoon into a strainer and sit the strainer over the pot or a dish to let the extra oil strain out. Once the oil is cool transfer the oil into ice cube trays and freeze. Transfer the frozen oil cubes into freezer bags and keep in the freezer until you are ready to use them.
