Loved it, used just the garlic powder didn’t have the minced on hand. But was on point with the warm French bread!!!
My go to Italian spice (before the olive oil is added). I use this on everything! When I want to make a little bit of sauce for pizza, I open a can of tomato sauce and add a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of this spice and I get great reviews. I sprinkle it on my garlic bread, add to soup and any recipe calling for Italian seasoning. I have added it to both vegetable and chicken noodle soup.? it just has never failed me. And as for dipping bread? It can’t be beat! I do not blend it, but I do run the rosemary through the little chopper so it is not such big pieces.
Very close to Carrabas. I did not blend it I wanted it be be course. I used a teaspoon of red chili flakes instead of the tablespoon. I doubled if not tripled the amount of fresh garlic and omitted the ground garlic. We are a garlic loving family. Super good!
this is definitely a keeper
I was really excited about making this and bought new dried spices and expensive olive oil for a party appetizer. Made as written but thought it was way, way too salty 🙁
This seasoning is fabulous! I use it in salad dressing, sprinkle inside Panini, use in meatballs, spaghetti sauce, you get the idea right? Just the right blend of herbs. Mix everything but the oil and use dry garlic if keeping it on the shelf. I try to make enough to always have a jar on the ready. I have made this dozens of times.
Love it!! We frequent Italian restaurants all the time and love when the waiter brings out a hot basket of bread with a plate of olive oil & herbs to dip our bread in. This reminds us of that! I’ve made this as written, with the addition of thyme & fresh garlic and also with a little drizzle of a (good) balsamic. Lately I have enjoyed this without grinding the herbs. All are delicious and make for a perfect antipasto plate served with warm bread. I make a large batch and store it in my spice cabinet.
I used 1 t of cayenne instead of 1 T of red pepper flakes.
Excellent and delicious dip for bread. My mom loved this part of the Italian feast I cooked for my parents.
This is an excellent recipe – I made it for a large birthday celebration so I left the minced garlic out and used an extra tablespoon of garlic power. I also reduce the red pepper for greater appeal throughout the group but will add them in for personal use. Also added Grated Parmesan Cheese separately as I was serving. As much as I love garlic, not adding the minced was great as I had some left over and just stored it for future use. It was a hit with everyone!
I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes and black pepper to 1 tsp. of each. It was excellent and made a bit hit.
We loved this recipe. I cut all the ingredients in half so we didn’t have a lot left over. We made fresh bread in the bread maker to dip in it. One addition we made was I sprinkled parmesan cheese over the top of it. That made it amazing!
Delicious. Wish powdered garlic would mix better
I wanted an easy appetizer to bring to christmas eve with the family. And the budget is low. Our local grocery makes a very good baguette that you finish baking yourself, so I bought a couple of those and brought this mix and some olive oil. I tore the bread in chunks on a large platter surrounding a small plate of the oil dip .It was gone in no time!
I didn’t use a grinder either but I use a herb chopper instead. I got a rough texture with smaller pieces but not a powder or grinds. it was a hit with the family and an awesome flavor to add with my homemade bread.
I used to work at carrabbas and I’m “pretty” sure that this is the herb mix recipe. They made use remember it when I worked there but that was eons ago and I’ve since forgotten. Miss the food though! OMG! BY THE WAY!!!!!! It takes Carabbas HOURS TO MAKE THIS!! Not five minutes. Grind slowly, don’t rush, you don’t want it to be a powder.
4 stars because the name is ridiculous (no butter involved). 5 stars for taste and simplicity. We keep this mixed in our spice drawer for a quick dip and spread. We add fresh garlic and olive oil when we are ready to make another batch. Thanks for the recipe, Ginger! :o)
I followed recipe, was very good, did note others not grinding herbs, will not grind as fine next time. Good recipe thanks!
GREAT recipe!!! i added a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese in the can. adds alot of flavor!
This is even better if you roast a bulb of garlic (cut top off garlic, drizzle with olive oil and kosher salt, cover in aluminum foil 350 degrees for 45 min) and mix with the rest of ingredients. You can also do a combination of softened butter/olive oil mix to make excellent garlic bread
LOVE this! You can actually keep pouring more oil when it runs out into the spices to get more use out of them.
