Method

Preparing Garlic Oil

  1. 1

    Infuse the Oil

    In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of olive oil and 6 crushed garlic cloves. Heat over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil, but do not let it brown.

  2. 2

    Season the Oil

    After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat. Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper to the garlic oil and stir well.

Frying Pita

  1. 3

    Cut Pita Bread

    Using a sharp knife, cut each pita bread in half to create pockets.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the garlic oil over medium heat until hot.

  3. 5

    Fry the Pita

    Place the pita halves in the skillet cut-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Chop Parsley

    Finely chop the fresh parsley.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Sprinkle the fried pita with chopped parsley and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for added freshness. Serve warm.
