Herb Bread-Dipping Oil

Herb Bread-Dipping Oil

Herb bread-dipping oil is the simplest way to start any meal: good bread, a bowl of oil, thirty minutes of patience while the flavors settle. EVOSÌ's floral, herbal character makes an easy dipping oil on its own, no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup EVOSÌ
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the dried oregano, minced garlic, flaky salt, and red pepper flakes if using.
  2. Pour EVOSÌ over the mixture, stirring gently to distribute the herbs and garlic evenly.
  3. Let the oil sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes, and up to an hour, so the flavors have time to infuse.
  4. Give it a final stir just before serving.
  5. Serve alongside slices of good crusty bread for dipping.
