I tried this recipe and it is EXTREMELY close to the one they serve in the restuarant! To serve this you just add a half of a cup of good quality olive oil to 1 Tbls. of this herb mix and dip a nice piece of crusty Italian bread in it! Great with a good glass of wine! The photo is my own.

2-SECOND ITALIAN BREAD OLIVE OIL DIP



2-Second Italian Bread Olive Oil Dip image

Know how at some Italian restaurants they give you the option of both butter and a dish with herbed olive when they bring out the bread? I found that I actually prefer the olive oil dip to butter in terms of both taste and ease to use; I don't have to wait for olive oil to melt! Plus, olive oil is monounsaturated fat that's better for you while butter is saturated fat that isn't. I use Recipe #391627, feel free to use another mix or storebought seasoning-- tastes just like the kind in restaurants to enjoy with focaccia or crusty Italian bread.

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, cored and finely chopped
1 small Japanese eggplant, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 round or oval loaf Italian peasant bread (about 8 inches)
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, fennel and eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring, until the water is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
