Carrabba’s Style Herb Mix for Bread Oil

By

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup basil, packed
  • 1/4 cup Italian parsley, packed
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary, packed
  • 4 cloves garlic slightly crushed
  • 4 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 4 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the fresh herbs and garlic in a food processor. Pulse a few times to coarsely chop the ingredients.

Add the dried herbs, salt and peppers. Pulse several more times until you have a coarse, uniform mixture.

Stir in olive oil and lemon juice.

To serve, place half a teaspoon (or more if you like it strong) on a small plate and pour on some olive oil.

Serve with warm, crusty bread.

The herb mix freezes very well in an air tight container and will keep for months.
