Procedure

Herb Oil

  • For the Herb Oil: In a 1-quart canning jar, place all of the herbs, zest, chile, and peppercorns. Pour both oils into a saucepan and heat to 200ºF. Carefully pour the hot oils into the jar and cover with a kitchen towel. Let stand overnight.
  • Place cheesecloth over the top of the jar and replace the outer rim of the lid. Invert and strain oil into desired container.

Artichoke Pasta Salad

  • Place the split tomatoes in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle a 1/2 teaspoon of the salt evenly over the top. Mix with a spoon and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
