How to Make Olive Oil Dipping Sauce

  1. Mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, 4 minced cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and just begins to sizzle (about 5-7 minutes). Do not brown the garlic.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the garlic solids (optional, but recommended for a smoother sauce).
  6. Pour the cooled olive oil mixture into a clean jar or bottle.
  7. Store in a cool, dark place. This sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 1 month in a cool pantry.
