Just because there is heat, doesn’t mean you need to get out of the kitchen.  Step into that sizzlin’ fire with chili oil.  

Chili oil adds a hint of spice without it being too fiery.  Use it as a condiment to dip in, drizzle it over your salads, pair it with some red meats, infuse it into your pasta dishes, or best of all, pair it with veggies to make eating them that much more exciting.  The possibilities are endless, as you can see.
