Ingredients

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Fresh Ingredients

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, freshly crushed or minced

Oils

  • Extra virgin olive oil (approximately 1/3 cup per serving portion)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry and fresh ingredients: Combine the crushed red pepper flakes, freshly cracked black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, coarse sea salt, and freshly crushed or minced garlic in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Prepare dipping oil: If serving immediately, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixed spice blend into a shallow plate or small bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil over the spice mixture, creating a flavorful oil infusion ready for dipping.
  3. Serve and store: Serve the dipping oil with fresh warm bread. Store any leftover spice mixture in an airtight container for future use, allowing you to quickly prepare fresh dipping oil whenever desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer less heat.
  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor.
  • Fresh garlic provides better aroma and taste compared to garlic powder alone.
  • Store the mixed dry herbs and spices in a sealed container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
  • Allow the dipping oil to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to enhance flavor infusion.
