This recipe is based on the dip served originally at the Piacere Restaurant in San Carlos, California. 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.
