Turmeric & Ginger Oil

Turmeric & Ginger Oil

I first made this Turmeric & Ginger Oil when my Irishman was struggling with IBS to help with his symptoms.

And while it is a brilliant anti-inflammatory condiment, the real reason I’ve been making it so often is because it’s just so damn delicious.

On eggs. On veggies. With fish. With chicken, With tacos.

You name it, this oil adds an exotic warmth to pretty much everything.

The only thing is the colour is a radioactive yellow.

We’re talking 1980’s fluro. And it stains everything. The table. Which Finbarello finds hillarious…

Actually it’s worth making just so you can laugh about the mess.

Ooh and.. I love eating the leftover cooked ginger / turmeric pulp. It’s a delicious condiment I add as a little side to my abundance bowl lunches.

So yum!
