(At Carrabba's, we sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the herb mix in a saucer, and add about 3 tablespoons of oil. At home, a single batch is more practical.)
When the bread comes to your table at Carrabba's, you are also served a dish of this herb-scented olive oil to dip the slices. It's a delicious ritual that many people would like to re-create at home, and now they can.....
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
3/4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/8 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
SLICED CRUSTY "RUSTIC" BREAD FOR DIPPING
Mix the parsley, basil, rosemary, oregano, granulated garlic, hot red pepper, salt, and pepper together in a small serving bowl.
Add the olive oil and stir. Serve with the bread for dipping.
This is from the "Carrabba's Italian Grill" cookbook...........
Actually, I never ever can remember my Italian father or his family putting butter on their Italian bread. ???????
