Instructions

Toasted Garlic

  • Place all herbs and spices in a shallow bowl.
    3 teaspoons Fresh Parsley, 3 teaspoons Fresh Oregano, 1 ½ teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, 4 teaspoons Fresh Basil, 2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, 2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • In a very small saucepan (I use my butter warmer) heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic once shimmering. Watch it so closely as garlic browns quickly.

    Balsamic Glaze, 2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
