Ingredients
- 1 C garlic cloves (peeled)
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 3 C neutral oil
- 1/2 C lemon juice
Instructions
- Slice the garlic cloves in half lengthwise and remove any green sprouts.
- Transfer the slices garlic cloves into a food processor and add the kosher salt to the garlic cloves. Process for a minute until the garlic becomes finely minced. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor afterwards.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour 1-2 tbsp of oil, then stop and scrap the bowl down. Continue adding another tablespoon or two until the garlic starts to look creamy.
- Once the garlic looks emulsifiied by the few tablespoons of oil, increase the speed of pouring the oil and alternate with the 1/2 cup of lemon juice until all the oil and lemon juice is incorporated. This will take about 15 minutes to complete.
- Transfer the sauce to a glass container and cover with an airtight lid. Can keep in refrigerator for up to 3 months.
