Herb and Olive Oil

I had this once and a restaurant and couldn't stop eating it.  Then I dreamed of it for a couple of weeks until I found the perfect recipe. Here are two different recipes, they are both good

Fresh

1tbs. fresh basil, finely chopped

1tbs. fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped

1 tbs. fresh garlic, minced

1tsp.dried thyme

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. dried oregano

½ tsp. dried rosemary

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

1/8 tsp. lemon juice

Mix all together, and store in an airtight container.  This will last quite a while in the fridge.

 Dry

1 tsp of all of these.

Black pepper

Oregano

Rosemary

Basil

Granulated garlic

Mined garlic

Salt

Olive oil

¼ tsp. red pepper

Mix all together, and store in an airtight container.  This will last quite a while in the fridge.

I like to mix 1 batch of fresh to 2 batches of dry

To use: drizzle 2 tbs.  olive oil over 1 tsp. of seasoning on a small plate and dip slices of a baguette or french bread.

Use in garlic bread spread: 1tbs. season and 1 cube butter

Food for thought: In stories, as in life, adversity teaches us things we cannot learn otherwise. Adversity helps to develop a depth of character that comes in no other way. Our loving Heavenly Father has set us in a world filled with challenges and trials so that we, through opposition, can learn wisdom, become stronger, and experience joy.-Pres. Uchtdorf
