This recipe is based on the dip served originally at the Piacere Restaurant in San Carlos, Califor- nia. This bread dip was the brainchild of the Kurd owner. It was so immensely popular, patrons would literally fill up on bread hence the restaurant soon discontinued serving it.
1⁄4 cup very finest fruity olive oil
18 Cloves coarsely chopped garlic
1 Cup of freshly chopped basil
1 Cup of very good Modena* balsamic vinegar
Heat frying pan until hot, then add and heat oil until it begins to glaze. Add all the garlic. Cook exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly. Add basil. Cook 20 seconds. Add vinegar. Store in jars in refrigerator but serve at room temperature for dipping bread.
* Aged Italian balsamic
