Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the crushed garlic cloves and cook until golden (roughly five minutes).

  3. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a sealed container, store in the fridge and allow it to cool completely. Before serving, remove the basil and chopped garlic, and transfer the sauce to a small dipping bowl. Serve cold or warm. To warm, heat in the microwave for one minute in a microwave-safe container, stirring halfway through.
