Awesome Olive Oil Dip
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, or more depending on how garlicky you want it
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
Pinch sea salt, if you have it try truffle salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional to make it spicy
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Crusty bread, cubed

Directions:
Finely mince the garlic and capers. Add to a bowl along with the oregano, rosemary, thyme and cheese. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Use the back of a spoon to smoosh the herbs into the garlic and capers.

Make one or two mounds of the garlic-herb mixture on a rimmed plate. Drizzle the olive oil on top. Serve with cubes of bread.


Alice Waters Olive Oil Aioli
Ingredients:
2 – 3 small cloves garlic
a pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon of water
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic with the salt until smooth. In a separate bowl, add the egg yolk, about half of the garlic and a 1/2 teaspoon of water. Mix well with a whisk. Slowly dribble the olive oil into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. As the egg yolk absorbs the oil, the sauce will thicken, lighten in color, and become opaque. This will happen rather quickly. Then you can add the oil a little faster, whisking all the while. If the sauce is thicker than you like, thin it with a few drops of water. Taste and add more salt and garlic, as desired.
