- Yields:
-
1 1/2 cups
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 10 large garlic cloves, with skin
- 1 teaspoon tuscany seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
directions
- Remove rough end of garlic cloves and slice each in half lengthwise. Do not remove skin. Place them in a narrow stainless steel butter melting pot. Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Place on medium heat until the olive oil begins to lightly sizzle. Reduce heat to a low simmer. It will take several hours before garlic richly tans and becomes soft and sweet. You can hasten the process with slightly higher heat but be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Remove the garlic skins from the pot when they are released from the cloves.
- Place 2 or 3 garlic cloves in each dipping plate; mash them with a folk. Spoon a generous puddle of Pete's Garlic Oil to the individual bowls. Add more Tuscany seasoning to taste and pepper flakes for added heat. Serve warm.
- Options, add a pinch of sun dried tomatoes, parmigiana cheese or mashed anchovies.
