Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra light oil for frying
  • teaspoons italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and drop in the unpeeled garlic. Simmer the garlic in the water for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer the garlic to a cutting board.
  • Once safe to handle, peel and finely mince the garlic.

  • Transfer garlic to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Divide the Italian season, garlic and olive oil among a few bread dipping saucers.
  • Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over top of the garlic and seasoning.
  • Serve with a loaf of crusty bread.
