- 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3–4 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon your minced fresh garlic over the herb and spice mixture in the dish.
- Now, gently pour your high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the herbs and garlic.
- Sprinkle your sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the oil.
- Using a spoon, gently stir all the ingredients together in the dish. Make sure the herbs and garlic are well dispersed throughout the oil.
- 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.
- Once the flavors have melded, serve your homemade Carrabba's Bread Dipping Oil with plenty of warm, crusty bread.
