Spanish Style Garlic and Parsley Flavored Olive Oil
"This Spanish condiment can be used as an ingredient in your favorite dishes, as a drizzle on salads and grilled vegetables or simply for dipping bread. I make this in mini batches with good results. This recipe comes from Madhur Jaffrey from a friend in Andalusia."

Excellent and indispensable for us in the kitchen as well. We make a number of variations of this and the uses are endless. Also just great on corn on the cob or drizzled on fresh greens or other vegetables. -
This is better than Pampered Chefs' garlic infused oil- which I love but can rarely afford! I highly recommend using fresh parsley, because it adds the perfect balance to the garlic. I'll be making this for Christmas gifts- thanks, Toni!

Delicious! Used some lovely Spanish extra virgin olive oil, organic garlic, and Italian parsley picked from our herb garden. Addictive as a dipping oil. I'm looking forward to more uses. Thanks, Toni! -
I love garlic, so now I can have more of it! Used to saute some mushrooms, this is good! Thank you Toni! -
Nice flavor to this oil. Used it to cook some chicken and it certainly made a difference from using regular olive oil. Thanks for posting something I've never tried before, but will probably try again! Made for ZWT3

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
