Charlie & Ivy's - Garlic, Oregano & Balsamic Bread Dipper, 200ml

Product Information

Garlic Intensity: If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Conversely, garlic enthusiasts may want to add more. Remember, this oil base not only serves as the canvas for your flavor masterpiece but is a crucial component of your creamy, cheesy, and delicious Parmesan Garlic Pasta or your favorite spaghetti sauce. Yes, that's right! This oil blend can double up as your pasta base, too. Our tip - grate in a garlic clove, add oregano, chili, and salt, stir well so all the ingredients combine and serve alongside your pasta. For optimum freshness, especially if you don't plan to serve your pasta straight away, you can prepare all ingredients ahead of time and add this oil blend just before serving. Blending the ingredients

This delicious Bread Dipping Oil with Mediterranean flavours takes minutes to prepare, and makes a fabulous appetiser! Serve with your favourite bread, some shavings of Parmesan cheese and a glass of wine! Why we love this recipe: Extra virgin olive oil is of course the star, I mean you cant have an olive oil bread dip without olive oil right! Because of this, use a good quality oil for the best flavor Crowd-friendly: This is perfect for parties or large get-to-gathers as scaling the recipe doesn’t call for extra time. Plus, everyone loves it. If you know it won’t be used for a long time, omit the fresh garlic and add a teaspoon of garlic powder instead. Or you can include a cute note asking to “just add fresh garlic to serve”.Kosher salt: I highly recommend using kosher salt instead of table salt. Regular salt will settle at the bottom, plus it makes the dip salty. While kosher salt enhances the flavors without making it salty.

Fresh herb– as a fresh herb, I have used fresh basil. Lots of basil is growing in my kitchen garden this time of the year and I always look for ways to use it in recipes. This infused oil recipe is the perfect way to use them. If you don’t have fresh basil, sure you can use dried basil or can substitute it with other herbs like rosemary, thyme, parsley, or even mint. You can also use a combination of your favorite fresh herb. Step by step process making of your own olive oil dip for bread What is the best bread for dipping? What bread can’t you dip should be the answer! For this type of dip, aim for something that is hearty enough to tear and sop up the spices and olive oil. Above all, make sure it is something you like, your favorite bread! These are my favorites: Add finely chopped herbs and olives to the bowl. TIP, if you are not planning to serve straight away, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and add to the bowl right before serving so it's enjoyed fresh Heating Option: For an added dimension of flavor, you can gently heat the oil with the herbs to infuse it before cooling and serving.

For this reason, I generally buy my quality olive oil domestically, from California, in fact. This one is my favorite. Olives: This recipe is very much Mediterranean inspired and olives would be a natural fit. If you have a jar of prepared olive tapenade, use that. If you are not a fan of olives, no problem, try substitution with capers or even sun-dried tomatoes. FRESH ROSEMARY. If you’ve got fresh rosemary for this dipping oil recipe, I recommend it! Don’t have fresh rosemary on hand? I’ve got directions for dried rosemary in the recipe card below. As this is such a simple recipe with very few ingredients, we recommend using the best quality products you’re able to find. Dried marjoram: The most underrated Italian spice that you never knew you needed. Put it in your dipping oil, yes, but also add it to other Italian recipes that you might be cooking ( spaghetti sauce, bean stews, red wine vinaigrette).
