Description
You can replace the tomato paste with your favorite thick ketchup; it will add flavor and aroma to the oil. If desired, you can also add dried aromatic Italian or Provençal herbs to the mixture—oregano and granulated garlic work especially well. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
