This delicious Lebanese dip is creamy, flavorful and full of healthy garlic! Since it calls for so much garlic, using pre-peeled cloves makes this recipe a bit easier.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup peeled garlic cloves
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups vegetable oil
4 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp ice water
Instructions:
Add the garlic and salt to a food processor. Process until the garlic forms a paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
With the processor runing, drizzle 1/4 cup of the oil very slowly into the garlic paste. Once incorporated, add the lemon juice in a slow drizzle. Add the remaining oil in a slow stream, stopping only to scrape the sides as needed. Adding the oil and lemon juice should be done extremely slowly, taking around 20 minutes to complete.
Drizzle in the ice water with the processor still running. This should make the mixture smooth and very creamy.
Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita, flatbread, or fresh vegetables.
Enjoy!
Notes:
The dip will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
