Ingredients
5 oz fresh garlic cloves, split in half, germ removed
2 tsp Kosher salt (red box Diamond Crystal)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup ice water
3 cups grapeseed oil
Directions
This recipe needs a food processor.A blender just doesn’t get the job done here.
Pulse garlic and salt until completely minced; scrape down the garlic from the sides of the bowl ensuring all garlic is completely finely minced.Recommend short pulse bursts to get this done.
Add only 1 Tbsp lemon juice and process to a paste.Add another Tbsp lemon juice and process until it’s completely smooth and looking a bit fluffy.
Run the processor and very slowly drizzle in ½ cup oil, thin stream and add 1 Tbsp lemon juice.Alternate oil and lemon juice just like this and then alternate ½ cup oil with 1 tbsp water until everything is mixed.
