Herb Garlic Dipping Oil (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Golden Garlic Base
01 -
2 tablespoons top-notch olive oil
02 -
3 tablespoons fresh garlic, diced super small
→ Fresh Herb Mix
03 -
¼ cup premium extra virgin olive oil (splurge on the good stuff)
04 -
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, cut into tiny bits
05 -
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, snipped really small
06 -
3 tablespoons fresh Parmesan cheese, grated extra fine
→ Seasonings
07 -
¼ teaspoon sea salt
08 -
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 -
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
10 -
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (leave out if you can't handle spice)
11 -
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (not required but really amps up the taste)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Warm up the olive oil in a small pan using medium heat. When it's warmed through, add your tiny garlic pieces and let them cook until they get golden edges. Watch them carefully since garlic burns fast! Remove from heat when done.
02 -
Find a flat serving dish or dipping bowl. Combine the chopped rosemary, basil, salt, pepper, Italian herbs, Parmesan, and the hot pepper flakes if you're using them.
03 -
Add your premium olive oil and the cooked garlic mix, then stir everything together. If you want, pour the balsamic vinegar on top for that extra kick of flavor.
04 -
Put it on the table with warm bread, pizza edges, or some fluffy pita for dipping. It tastes way better after sitting for a few minutes so the flavors can mix together.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
The flavor gets way better after letting it sit for a bit
02 -
You can keep leftover oil in your fridge for up to a week - just warm it up before serving
