Love this, have made it several times as it makes great gifts, and you can personalize it to flavor, culture or cooking style based on the recipient. It makes the perfect use for home fries, eggs, etc. When I made this I was like, ohh this is the secret of some of fine dining!

A few days after I made this I went to take it out of the fridge and it was opaque and thick. Still safe to eat?

Haha, yes of course. Oils when cooled solidify. Just sit it out at room temperature for an hour or so and your good.
