Thanks for posting! Will be making this soon! He wrote something interesting,

which I am not aware of....

"But as much as we all love garlic, it's best not to add it since it can cause food-related illness."

Do you know what he was referring to??? Just curious. THanks again for posting the rec:
Any insight into garlic/olive oil would be appreciated!

Regards,
Barb

Hi Barb, if garlic is stored in oil at room temperature or if stored in the refrigerator more than

a week, it can cause botulism. Click link for more info:

Barb, click on the link he provided(highlighted text). It explains about botulism and garlic in oil

Although, if I were making this to consume in a few days, or no longer than a week, kept in the fridge, I would consider adding some garlic.

Thanks Ang and Meryl. I never knew this. Very interesting information. Appreciate the heads up!

That Health Canada article is misleading, since it mentions only vegetable oil, and not olive oil.
