"Orange peel and dried chipotle chili infuse this oil with a smoky citrus flavor that enlivens Mexican and Southwestern style marinades or part of a salad dressing. The dried orange peel gives the oil a savory intensity, but you can use fresh zest in a pinch. NOTE: The oil infusion time is not included in the overall prep. time."
