Paprika Cumin Oil

• ½ cup [125 ml] neutral oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Heat half of the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer, about 1 minute. Add the spices and allow them to bloom in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and add the rest of the oil to cool the mixture. Let steep for 10 minutes.
