Caribbean Pepper Oil
Makes two cups. Mix all of the ingredients together and pour them into a bottle. Stopper the bottle and allow it to stand in a dark place for a week. Use sparingly. This oil has a fiery tang that makes it perfect for marinades and grilled meat, or even salad dressing.

Curry Oil

Garlic Rosemary Oil
To make the garlic-rosemary oil, peel and cut the garlic into very thin slices. Pour the oil into a small heavy skillet or saucepan, add the sliced garlic and the rosemary, crushing the herb between your fingers as you add it, and warm over low heat. When the aroma rises and the garlic just starts to take on color (it should not brown), about 5-7 minutes, remove from the heat. Add the salt to taste and strain the oil into a small pitcher.
NOTE: The oil can be made up to 2 weeks ahead, cooled to room temperature, and stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. To enjoy the full flavor and fragrance of the oil, make sure to bring it to room temperature before using.

Ginger Oil
Ginger oil can be made quickly by putting twelve slices of ginger and a half cup of peanut oil in a small frying pan and cooking over medium heat until the ginger is browned and the oil is almost smoking. Remove the pan from the heat and take out the ginger; what remains is a tasty oil that you can use to dress pasta or make into a sauce for fish. For a spicier oil, add a few whole, dried hot peppers with the ginger. For the simplest sauce made from ginger oil, just whisk in two tablespoons of soy sauce (I like Kikkoman's best). This quantity is enough to sauce about two pounds of fish fillets--salmon, tuna,or whitefish. For a light main dish, poach the fish--and add a few thin slices of ginger to the poaching liquid.
