How to make GREEN OIL at home | Michelin Star Technique

[@7ele5crivente]

When I worked in a MS restaurant we used a slightly different method. Put the greens and oil in a thermomix, blend at 65°C for 10 minutes, filter with a cheese cloth into a piping bag. Put the piping bag into a freezer overnight, then move it into a fridge for another 24h. Then you have a complete separation of the oil from the water, and you can get rid of the water just like shown in the video. The reason for this process is to avoid the deterioration of aromatics and chlorophyll at high temperatures, and, by freezing, to completely separate the oil from the water. That's because vegetable cells do contain some binding factors that can bind fats and water in particles called "micelles" during the blending process, and we want avoid that as much as possible.

[@Smitho94]

This video is for home cooks, says so in the title.

[@Chzydawg]

@@Smitho94 Not too difficult to replicate even without a thermo. Most blenders will heat the product up through the friction generated by the motor, even a cheap hamilton beach will eventually hit 65 degrees. The rest of the steps are somewhat easier to achieve a consistent product than those that are in the video.

Just yes! Thank you from Germany. That sounds great. We have a lot of "Wild Garlic" Bärlauch.

[@donnamarsh6744]

The piping bag trick is GENIUS it’s like separatory funnel!

[@berelinde]

Wild garlic is hard to find in my part of the world, but garlic chives, aka onion grass, is a plentiful springtime substitute. Just do the foraging before the first lawnmowing of the season.

[@dergartenkanal]

You can use all onion greens for this recipe and many herbs :)

[@simonharwood5999]

The piping bag trick is genius. I was nodding in agreement throughout the video until that point! Thanks you have just saved me a good few portions of extra oil

[@ChefMajk]

Glad you like it

[@Pomudachi]

Guys please use this within a few weeks if refrigerated and even faster if stored at room temperature. The heat does not fully destroy the spores that can develop into botulinum bacteria and the anaerobic environment in the oil is the perfect place for it.

[@lupebutterfly9161]

Amazing! I am so making this! Will try a different herb. No wonder my oil was never that green! Thank you so much! You are the best!

[@ChefMajk]

You are welcome ;)

[@samhor33]

Perfect method, no fluid involved, all the flavor is in the oil.

[@_RayOfLight_]

Last spring I found lots of wild garlic and onion plants in a park and little forest by my house . This coming spring I will harvest it and make green oil . Thank you for the recipe ❤. God bless

[@ChefBasicswithBaz]

Looks a great colour! Have you ever extracted the chlorophyll from spinach? It can be used to colour anything a vibrant green - pasta, oils, soups, sauces etc. Just blend raw spinach with a small amount of water, strain out solids and discard, boil remaining liquid and strain again through cheese cloth. Use it right away or you can leave it to dry and grind it to a powder.

[@ChefMajk]

I never did that with spinach to be honest, but I guess it can work.

[@lupebutterfly9161]

@@ChefMajk you are so nice and humble, any other chef would have said "I already know how to do that"

[@lupebutterfly9161]

Thank you Chef

[@ChefMajk]

for me is best way to say the truth ;)

[@Hyper_Driven]

@@ChefMajkchef what kind of sieves and cloth do you use to strain? Are there different sieves with finer mesh? Which ones are good to use for sifting flour or other things like a purée to get smoother textures?

[@stefimandi186]

Beautiful. Here we have wild garlic from end Jan. I always make some pesto from it. Big brunch of wild garlic, handful of cashew nuts, olive oil, salt. Process it into a cream. I use it for pasta dishes, marinating white meat or fish. Bread spread. Wild garlic is a really blessing from nature.

[@illchef]

This looks interesting chef. I normally blanch and shock then purée with oil. I’m going to try this way. Pipe’n bag technique I think is cool

[@alvarovivanco9929]

The pipe’n bag technique also works when you want to clarify butter or duck fat, just as a tip :)

[@alegrametta]

The piping bag trick is genius!!

[@kln1]

That sounds interesting. Season starts soon for us, so i can give it a try with the fresh stuff. I wonder about one thing, though: how do you get that cloth for filtering clean? Isn't that a normal thin rag from a roll of rags? I'm sure i had those before. How do you clean them before first use? Just some cooking water? Because no matter what i use they still smell slightly like chemicals or washing powder.

[@ChefMajk]

Then use clean cheese cloth.

[@ChefMajk]

I will start to say for how long you can keep it, many people asking about. That is a good idea But about measures and ingredients. Maybe I would get more likes, not sure about but how you see there are not many recipes on the channel. And that is on purpose. It will help people to learn cooking more in the long run if I don't give them recipes, that is why I do that.

[@adrianabu-ghazaleh7051]

Why do you heat the oil and herbs? For sterilisation or for taste and aromatic infusion? Because I thought that the aromatic compounds are sensitive to heat.

[@ChefMajk]

To get better color, if you just blend it cold it will be not really green

Wow!!! This innovation. Thank you so much.🙏

[@WW-wn4ef]

[@bas7294]

Hi chef, I never realised this was so easy, thank you for sharing! Now I was wondering, is this the general method to do this? For example can I make basil oil the same way? Or maybe even use something like beetroot for a purple oil?

[@ChefMajk]

With basil probably yes, with beetroot I never did that. Maybe I will try it one day.

[@berelinde]

If you use a lighter olive oil, the oleic acid in the oil will probably keep the oil more ruby colored and less prone to darken, but it sounds attractive.

[@WISSPORTS16]

fantastic! everything is great thank you

[@Indureiner]

Is there any PH considerations? Especially parsley stored in oil could have potential botulism issues, as 90 degrees is to low to kill botulinum prefringens, or the shelf life, even in a fridge, must be extremely short

[@ChefMajk]

I saw oil like this in the restaurants for 2 weeks used easily

Not sure how are options in your country but you can use parsley or coriander instead
