Mellow Chile-Garlic Mix

1. 1

   In a small saucepan (a butter warmer is ideal), combine the oil, garlic, and chile flakes over medium-low or low heat.

2. 2

   Bring to a gentle simmer and let the mixture bubble and sizzle for 5 minutes, occasionally swirling the pan or stirring the mixture to ensure even cooking and watching carefully that it does not burn.

3. 3

   The finished mixture will be a rich orange-red and have a pleasant toasty fragrance.

4. 4

   Remove from the heat and let cool completely.

5. 5

   The mixture will darken to a reddish brown as it cools.

6. 6

   Transfer the mixture to a small jar and keep it on the table for frequent use, or in the refrigerator for occasional use.
