To do this, I put a good amount of oil in a small skillet and slice up a bunch if garlic cloves. Combine the garlic and olive oil over low heat until the garlic is turning golden brow. Remove the garlic from the pan and let it drain on a plate with some paper towels. The garlic chips taste great and are a nice garnish. The infused oil is outstanding and s a versatile addition to many dishes. I don’t like to use vinegar on mine but sometimes I flavor the oil with garlic.

What will you use as a substitute for vinegar. I think the tomatoes and mozzarella need some form of acidity besides that from the tomato. Hi Erin, hope you enjoyed your Avalon experience.

I myself always include it, as I just love the additional flavor it adds. That said, the next time I have access to some unripe tomatoes I will try a taste test and see how I feel.
