Ridiculously Good Olive Oil Dip Recipe

My go-to combination of flavors is something salty like capers and parmesan cheese, herbs like rosemary and lots of garlic.

I’ve also been known to make it spicy with some crushed red chili flakes and if I have it in the fridge a mashed up anchovy or a small squeeze of anchovy paste is delicious. If you want to add a little sweetness to the dip, add a small splash of high-quality balsamic vinegar.

This easy and group-friendly olive oil dip comes together really quickly and it never fails. I mean, who doesn’t want to dip bread into an herby, garlicky, parmesan cheese infused olive oil?

Think of it as a total flavor bomb that when mixed with olive oil and bread is just the right amount of flavor to make you keep coming back for more. On that note, you might want to make a double batch. This stuff goes fast.

YOU WILL NEED

• 2 garlic cloves, or more depending on how garlicky you want it
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
• Pinch sea salt, if you have it try truffle salt
• Fresh ground pepper, to taste
• Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional to make it spicy
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
• Crusty bread, cubed

DIRECTIONS

1. Finely mince the garlic and capers. Add to a bowl along with the oregano, rosemary, thyme and cheese. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Use the back of a spoon to smoosh the herbs into the garlic and capers.
