Ingredients

  • 1 head fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tbsp sea salt (fine grain)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups chilled oil (avocado, sunflower, safflower, etc).
  • 1 egg white (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the minced garlic, salt a 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in either your food processor or a wide mouth mason jar if you're using a stick blender.
  • Slowly add about half of a cup of the oil in a slow but steady stream while you blend. Then add another tablespoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the oil and lemon juice until it is all incorporated into the garlic sauce.
  • If your immersion fails for any reason, combine one egg white with 1/4 cup of the garlic sauce liquid. Beat with the immersion blender or use a food procesor and slowly add the rest of the garlic sauce.

Notes

Your homemade garlic sauce will be better after it sits for a few hours, and it starts to mellow after a few days.  It will store in the fridge up to four weeks.
