This is another Core Ingredient.
Garlic and olive oil are essential in Italian cooking. Pete's Garlic Oil starts with fresh garlic. Cloves and their skins are slowly simmered in olive oil flavored with fresh sage leaves, rosemary, salt and red pepper flakes. Tuscany seasoning can be substituted for the fresh herbs. Even the garlic skin renders flavor and are removed when they eventually fall off. This technique results in flavored garlic-infused olive oil. Garlic cloves are never bitter and become golden brown, soft and tender and take on the wonderful texture and pleasant taste of oven roasted garlic.
Use Pete's garlic oil in all your cooking that calls for olive oil.
Pete's garlic oil can also be the main ingredient in Linguine Aglio Et Olio, a great addition to pastas with pesto, and cooking roasted vegetables dishes like Brussel sprouts with bacon, broccoli rabe and sausages. Cloves can be coarsely mashed and sprinkled with additional Tuscany seasoning to make a tangy garlic dip for crusty bread served with dinner. It can also be used as the base for Bagna Cauda, the famous anchovy vegetable dip and sauce from the Piedmont region of Italy.
The morning of a day of entertaining always begins with Pete's Garlic Oil simmering. It's not only indispensable but nothing says Italian more than the smell of seasoned pan-roasted garlic when guests arrive.
