This refers to a specific set of ingredients and instructions designed to recreate the flavor profile of a popular seasoning blend often served at Carrabba’s Italian Grill restaurants. It’s typically used as an accompaniment for bread, often mixed with olive oil. A common example involves combining dried herbs like oregano, basil, and rosemary with garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
The popularity of replicating this flavor stems from its perceived deliciousness and the desire to recreate a restaurant experience at home. It offers a cost-effective alternative to dining out and allows for customization to individual taste preferences, such as adjusting the level of spice or omitting certain ingredients. Recipes for similar seasoning blends have existed for many years, with the Carrabba’s version gaining prominence due to the restaurant’s widespread popularity.
