Ingredients

16 servings

1 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 3–4 heads)
Spice World Garlic Minced Squeeze - 9.5 Oz Spice World Minced Garlic, 4.5 Oz Fresh Garlic Badia Garlic Minced in Olive Oil - 8 Oz Goya Garlic Minced Jar - 4.5 Oz
See all
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 cups neutral oil (such as sunflower oil or canola oil)
½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3–4 lemons)
¼ cup ice water

Instructions

1
Place the garlic cloves and kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides twice, until the garlic is very finely minced and begins to form a paste.
2
With the food processor running, add 1 tbsp of the oil through the feed tube and process for 30 seconds. Add another 1 tbsp of oil and process again for 30 seconds. Repeat this one-tablespoon-at-a-time addition for the first 1/4 cup of oil — this slow start is the critical step for building a stable emulsion.
