Questions & Replies

  1. I knew when I saw a full tablespoon of black pepper that something was wrong with this recipe. Got to learn to trust my common sense more. What a waste!
     
  2. Approximately how much oil per tablespoon of spices. 1/3 or 1/4 cup ?

  1. Delicious. Closest to what I remember the dipping oil tastes like at the restaurant. I used minced garlic from a jar. And then a mortar and pestle to bring it all together. Separately put EVOO in another dish and took a few pinches of the mix and added to the oil.

  2. Recipe is sound however I must correct one aspect and that is ONLY FRESH herbs are used by Carrabba's and NEVER dried versions...next time you make "Italian Butter" go with fresh herbs and you will be amazed at the difference. Oh and also I typically half the garlic content (especially so with fresh minced) otherwise 10 days later your sister will comment on how awesome your garlic breath is did you exercise a vampire the night prior or something. No one wants to hear that. Stephanie Meyer, Lestat, Louie or otherwise...enjoy!
     
  3. This is very, very close to the original in the restaraunt. I did make a slight modification after reading a few reviews. I used 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper versus 1 Tablespoon red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon of black pepper versus 1 Tablespoon. The recipe still has a mild bite but it allows the other flavors to come through. I would still rate it a 4.5 if I could give half stars. Enjoy!
     
  4. Just like Carrabba's! Delicious! If you could get better than Carrabba's this is it! This really is amazing. The Very best dipping sauce EVER!
     
  5. Excellent! I didn't bother grinding--just used the herbs as is. I used a little lemon olive oil along with regular olive oil and that added an extra dimension.
