Ingredients

  • 1 head clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 shallots, peeled and finely diced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 sprigs oregano leaves only, roughly chopped
  • 3 sprigs parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Yield

Serves: 1 cup

Preparation

Place the garlic and shallots in a small saucepan and cover with the olive oil. Place over low heat and slowly cook until they are soft and aromatic with no color. About 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Once cool, add the chopped herbs and chili flakes.


Just before you are ready to use the dressing, whisk in the vinegar. (Waiting prevents the acid from discoloring the herbs.)
