We got an e-mail asking for suggestions about giving homemade herb-flavored olive oil as a gift.  In the interest of food safety, we urge you to give an unopened bottle of a nice olive oil together with a packet of herbs you've assembled.  Olive oil with fresh garlic will spoil, and we're just not sure about any other addition that isn't going to be served immediately.

     Enjoy,

Seasoned Oils for Dipping Bread

Assemble:  

  •  Extra virgin olive oil
  •  Fresh bread or rolls  
  •  Dried herbs and spices - add a pinch or two of your favorites

Suggested combinations:

  • Rosemary, garlic powder, parsley

  • Parmesan cheese, garlic powder  

  • Ground sun dried tomatoes, basil, garlic

  • Onion flakes or powder, garlic chips or powder, ground bell pepper   

  • Or get creative and mix and match other herbs and spices.

 Mix  several tablespoons of your chosen herbs and spices together, adding salt to taste. 

Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, place the herbs in a pretty dish for serving with a spoon.  Give each guest a small bowl or saucer in which to pour his or her olive oil from a carafe or gravy boat.  Pass the herbs for each guest to take as little or as much as they want.  Offer fresh bread or rolls and let the dipping begin!

 

Bonus ideas

  •  Try combining extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar* right on the table (on your plate of course).  Sister Nancy suggests starting with blasamic vinegar only and adding oil to taste, but she usually doesn't bother with the olive oil, so ...

  • If you make your own bread, try adding your favorite combination of herbs to the basic bread dough as your mix the ingredients together.

  • Use the finest extra virgin olive oil you can afford.  Your grocery store probably doesn't carry high quality olive oil or balsamic vinegar.  Try the food sections of discounters like Ross and Marshalls for possible bargains.

*Balsamic vinegar originated near Modena, Italy, where the product is aged for a minimum of twelve years.  Read the labels before you buy.
