What is Red pepper oil (with a little olive oil)?

Red pepper oil (with a little olive oil) is a glossy, pepper-flecked condiment made by letting red pepper flavour oil; the olive oil adds a faint fruity note. Its heat depends on the pepper used, so it may be gently savoury or distinctly spicy. Across many cuisines, it is drizzled over soups, eggs, roasted vegetables, beans or dips, or served at the table for people to add to taste.

It is mostly fat and therefore energy-dense, while a small spoonful can bring plenty of colour and pepper flavour. Start with a little if you are unsure about the heat, and try it over yogurt-based dips or a simple soup for contrast.
