8 servings
For the oil base
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
Spice blend
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground cumin is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid cumin, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground ground ginger is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ tsp fine salt
Fresh herbs
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit fibrous leafy greens and herbs. Parsley is used here only as a small amount of chopped fresh herb for seasoning, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh parsley, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan and add the crushed garlic cloves. Warm over low heat until the oil is fragrant and small bubbles form steadily around the garlic, about 4–5 minutes — do not let the garlic brown. Remove from heat.
