Garlic-Rosemary Oil

 

3 large plump garlic cloves

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 4 " sprig fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

 

To make the garlic-rosemary oil, peel and cut the garlic into very thin slices.

Pour the oil into a small heavy skillet or saucepan, add the sliced garlic and

the rosemary, crushing the herb between your fingers as you add it, and warm

over low heat. When the aroma rises and the garlic just starts to take on color

(it should not brown), about 5 to 7 minutes, remove from the heat. Add the salt

to taste and strain the oil into a small pitcher.
