Tomato Olive Oil Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 teaspoon Maldon salt
02 - ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
03 - 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
04 - ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
05 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
06 - ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
07 - 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
08 - Crusty bread to serve
09 - ¾ cup high-quality olive oil
10 - ¼ cup chopped castelvetrano olives
11 - 1 small shallot, diced finely
12 - 1 teaspoon red chili flakes

# Instructions:

01 - Once the oil is infused, pour it into a bowl and toss in the parmesan, olives, parsley, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Stir everything up well, then it’s ready for dipping with some crusty bread.
02 - Put the olive oil, diced shallot, garlic, and chili flakes into a saucepan and warm it gently on medium-low heat. Let it cook until the garlic starts turning a light golden shade, in about 4 to 5 minutes. Pull it off the stove and allow it to cool down a bit.

# Notes:

01 - Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
