Ingredients
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 garlic cloves, smashed into a paste
1 bay leaf, well-crumbled
pinch red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Pour the extra-virgin olive oil into a small bowl or mixing vessel.
Crush the rosemary, thyme, and oregano leaves lightly to release their essential oils, then add them to the olive oil.
Stir in the sweet paprika, garlic paste, crumbled bay leaf, and red pepper flakes.
Add the fine grain sea salt and fresh lemon juice, stirring well to combine.
Let the sauce rest for 2–3 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, then use immediately or store in an airtight container.
