I've taken a sharp interest in expanding my Italian repertoire recently, and threw this together today. Its very simple, but I liked it a lot. What does everyone else put into their favorite herb/oil mix?
2 parts Thyme
2 Parts Oregano
2 Parts Sage
2 Parts fresh Minced garlic*
1 Part Rosemary
1 Part Basil
S+P to taste
Finely chop all of your herbs and garlic and combine. Add S+P to taste and combine the mixture with approximately double the volume of good extra virgin olive oil. Serve with warm Italian bread.
A note about the garlic- I realize all that fresh garlic might be overpowering for some, so I was thinking a great alternative that would give a different flavor would be to confit fresh garlic in your EVOO, and then use the garlic-infused oil in place of the EVOO.
