Presumably either a terrible idea or already a thing, not sure which.
I’m thinking crispy-fried-aromatics-in-oil, Mediterranean edition. Garlic, eschalots (aka scallions), thyme/rosemary/etc, vast quantity of parsley, peppercorns, lemon zest, fine-diced rye sourdough.
Jar of that in the fridge, use it like chilli crisp but for white-people food.
Is this a thing? Should it be a thing?
Sounds like Pesto without as much smashing or grinding, and more olive oil.
well, and the frying part. The idea was to end up with texture, similar to lao gan ma.
I think imma have to try it.
