DRIED BLEND OF AROMATIC HERBS, ONIONS, GARLIC
My Recipe #183096 and Recipe #204180 inspired me to make this recipe. Flavored with wonderful herbs, onion and garlic (a whole bulb not a garlic clove. Great for making Rosemary Roast beef or on roast chicken, roasted veggies, fries or top a baked Italian bread before baking. Add to a bowl of extra virgin olive oil for dipping. Remove tough stems from all the herbs and discard or save for a fire place or smoking foods. I air dried my garden herbs but you can oven dry them as well. The time for cooking is the drying of the onions and garlic. Garlic will dry quicker so watch them.

HERB GARLIC OIL
This is a basic garlic oil that can be used as a dipping sauce for bread, the oil half of an Italian vinaigrette, or as the base for Mediterranean-style cooking. If you use it for the latter, though, you may want to omit the herbs and add the extra-virgin olive oil unless your pan is non-stick or you do not mind burned little flecks of oregano and parsley.
