Garlic Olive Oil

This infused olive oil is the perfect example of a versatile culinary oil adding robust and assertive garlic flavor wherever garlic is required. Imagine smelling the aroma of a freshly peeled garlic clove diced into small pieces. Garlic olive oil pairs very well with just about any white balsamic, dark balsamic or fruit vinegar and is the essential finishing oil in many Mediterranean dishes.

• Combine with Apricot, Peach, or Pineapple balsamic for pork or poultry marinade.
• Combine equal parts with Italian Espresso for a flank steak marinade.
• Use for bread dipping.
• Drizzle over your pasta or add as a secret ingredient in a savory red sauce.
• Drizzle over grilled pizza and flatbread.
• Use to finish creamy mashed potatoes.
• Use to toss pasta; it is especially delicious with spaghetti.
• For extra flavor, use this oil instead of plain olive oil for basting when cooking vegetables.
• Use to cook Mexican-style garlic shrimp.

Featured Recipe: Grilled Garlic Bread

DESCRIPTION

Delicious Garlic Bread to accompany your favorite pasta dish.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 loaf Ciabatta bread (or other firm bread), sliced inch to 1/2" thick
• Olive Basin Garlic Olive Oil - for grilling and also on grilled bread, if desired
• Freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano Cheese
• Fresh chopped parsley, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat grill on medium setting. Place a little vegetable oil on a paper towel and using tongs, lightly oil the grate. 
Using a pastry brush, brush garlic oil onto both sides of each bread slice. Lay on to oiled grate. Grill 1-2 minutes, depending on your grill, turn and grill 1-2 minutes more on the other side. Each side should have grill marks, however, this happens quickly, so take care not to overcook. 

To Serve: 
Place each slice on a platter, sprinkle cheese and parsley on to each slice. If desired, additional garlic oil can be drizzled on top.
