A super simple and quick side to serve with steak, BBQ, pasta, salad, etc… This is one of the first things I figured out how to make for myself in my adult life– that I enjoy so much that I can honestly confess that I don’t think it can be done any better.
I prefer using focaccia bread, but this is also nice on slices of french bread.
Please do yourself a favour and don’t consider substituting the fresh cloves of garlic for anything else. It might be tempting to use that jar of pre-minced garlic, or maybe use powdered garlic from the pantry– but just don’t. do. it. Call me a garlic-snob if you want, but there is really no comparison to fresh!
