From Bon Appétit's January 2018 issue, a treat from Claire Saffitz.
"This appetizer is so fast and easy, you can have it on the table within 10 minutes of walking in the door. Save any leftover oil, which has been flavored with the red pepper flakes and garlic, for another use like salad dressing."
