Answer 4

Either 'crush' your garlic or 'chop it fine' and then put it into a container with your olive oil ... and COVER IT TIGHTLY and let it 'sit' somewhere for at least a full day and night before you use it ... that way the 'garlic' will 'infuse' into the oil and 'flavor it' ... and it is really 'very good' with a nice 'crusty artisan bread' instead of 'butter' ... and is 'much better' for you because it has no 'bad fat' only the 'good fat' ... and you use much less, too ... I'd have it with some 'spaghetti' with meat sauce ... YUM!

Answer 5

Peel three cloves of garlic and put them into your bottle of olive oil. When it's dinnertime, pour a couple tablespoons of the oil on a small plate, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, then dip your bread into it. Delicious!

Answer 6

If you mean like what you would get at a restaurant, then heat the oil in a pan and put however much garlic you want in the pan to brown it. This will make the oil tastier, then once it has cooled alittle put it in a plate and season with salt, pepper (fresh ground if you have it) and basil.

Answer 8

Get some olive oil, garlic salt, and a touch of vinegar.

Answer 9

Wrong choice, at least in my opinion. A better one is olive oil & Balsamic vinegar, you just pour it in a shallow saucer as they do not mix, so the bread goes though both layers, -you can chose how much of each you pick up if you watch what you are doing.

Since you have access to the Internet, go to www.foodnetwork.com and check out Chef Emeril's page. He did just that dip not long ago on his t.v. program, and it's archived on his page. There's a trick to how you add the oil to keep the dip from breaking and Emeril will show ya how...
