Green Herb Oil

Recipe by ryder on InstagramAdded 8 November 2026.

10 minutes to prep, 20 to cook. A vibrant green oil infused with fresh celery leaves, perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or finishing dishes. The low‑heat method preserves the herb's bright color and fresh flavor, making it a quick and versatile condiment for any kitchen.

Method

  1. Chop the celery leaves roughly; they do not need to be fine.

  2. Combine the chopped herbs with the oil in a 2:1 ratio by volume in a saucepan.

  3. Heat over low heat, avoiding a simmer or fry, and let the mixture gently heat for about 20 minutes until it separates and the color remains bright green.

  4. Remove from heat and let the oil steep in the herbs for an additional 20 minutes without any heat.

  5. Strain the oil if desired, and store in a clean container for use as a vibrant, herb‑infused condiment.
