  • 3 cloves fresh garlic minced

Preparation

  • Combine the make-ahead seasonings in a small bowl. This will yield 3 tablespoons, or 3 batches. Use 1 tablespoon per ½ cup olive oil.
  • When ready to serve, combine 1 tablespoon of the seasonings with ½ cup olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, and 2 tbsp. Parmesan. Store the remaining seasonings in an airtight container until ready to use.

Notes

Quality is key! Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil that's labeled as mild. Go organic if possible for fewer additives. Consider using a dark bottle and look for a more recent harvest date for freshness.
