Herb Garlic Oil

5.0
(2)

This is a basic herb garlic oil that can be used as a dipping sauce for bread, the oil half of an Italian vinaigrette, or as the base for Mediterranean-style cooking. If you use it for the latter, you may want to omit the herbs and just add the extra-virgin olive oil unless your pan is nonstick or you don't mind burned little flecks of oregano and parsley.
