Ingredients: 

1/2 cup olive oil
5-6 cloves garlic
5 slices of bread (remove hard part)

Directions: 

Peel garlic and marinate (leave) it in the vinegar for about five hours. Press garlic into pulp and add the bread after soaking it in water and straining it well. Add 2-3 teaspoons of vinegar, the salt and beat the mixture while slowly adding the oil. If you find it too thick, add some water. Serve with olives in a shallow dish.

2. Replace the bread with 5 medium sized potatoes (boiled and hot).

Garlic dip usually accompanies fried codfish, fried zucchini or fried eggplant.
