Garlic Herb Dipping Oil

Kay Carney About Penzeys California Basil

This dipping oil is incredibly simple to make. All you need are a handful of common ingredients. But this type of recipe has always been my favorite type of recipe-easy, fast, but loaded with flavor.

Shallots, garlic, onion, green peppercorns, chives, and green onion.
