Part 2/5:
Begin by heating a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add a tablespoon of butter or margarine, preferring butter for better flavor. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and stir gently until it starts to turn golden. This process infuses the dish with a rich, savory aroma.
Once the garlic reaches a lovely golden hue, mix in half a teaspoon of smoked paprika and stir for about 30 seconds before removing it from heat. You can reserve this garlic mix, as the flavored oil can enhance other dishes, like fried eggs later on.
