I serve this as a dip for my Almond Flour Focaccia and Rosemary & Sea Salt Peasant Bread.
SO good!
I literally ate a quarter of a loaf of Rosemary & Sea Salt Peasant Bread w/ this for dinner one night after following a really badly written recipe for a first attempt at a Penne alla Vodka recipe – I didn’t even care that the pasta was a loss b/c this is delicious! Okay, maybe I also ate some salad. Ha!
FUN FACTS: We all know something similar as an appetizer service at *Italian* restaurants here in SoCal, right? This is NOT an Italian food at all. No one seems to know *for sure* where this started, but I vote to keep it!!!
TIPS: Omit the Parmesan to make this recipe OvoVege, Paleo, Vegan, or Whole30.
Cali-Mediterranean Bread Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 30 g (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat on stovetop.
- Add 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and heat.
- Add 4 tsp garlic and sauté for 30 secs (or until fragrant).
- Transfer oil mixture to a serving bowl. I use a pasta bowl b/c it’s wide and balanced, with enough depth to keep the goodness from spilling out!
- Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
- Stir in 30 g (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, 2 Tbsp dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
