Ingredients:

  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary

  • ½ cup chardonnay
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil about ¼ cup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Place the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, and olive oil into a mortar. Crush with the pestle to make a paste.
