4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, loosely packed
2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Combine the olive oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over the lowest possible heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened and just barely golden at the edges, about 10–12 minutes. Watch closely — the garlic can brown quickly and will turn bitter if it darkens past pale gold.
2
Add the parsley and thyme sprigs, if using, to the warm oil. Stir to submerge the herbs, then remove the pan from the heat. Let the herbs steep in the residual heat for 5 minutes, until the parsley is wilted and the oil is fragrant.
