Recreate the magic of Carrabba’s Italian Grill with this easy and flavorful bread dipping oil recipe. Perfect for enhancing your favorite crusty bread, it’s a delightful addition to any meal or gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 34 medium cloves Fresh Garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. First things first, peel and finely mince your fresh garlic cloves. The goal here is tiny pieces, almost a paste, so they release their flavor thoroughly into the oil.
  2. In a wide, shallow serving dish, combine your dried herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme if using) and red pepper flakes. Give them a quick stir to distribute them evenly.
  3. Spoon your minced fresh garlic over the herb and spice mixture in the dish.
  4. Now, gently pour your high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the herbs and garlic.
  5. Sprinkle your sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the oil.
  6. Using a spoon, gently stir all the ingredients together in the dish. Make sure the herbs and garlic are well dispersed throughout the oil.
  7. Let the oil sit at room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the garlic and dried herbs time to properly infuse their flavors into the olive oil.
  8. Once the flavors have melded, serve your homemade Carrabba's Bread Dipping Oil with plenty of warm, crusty bread.
