Equipment

  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Immersion Blender or Standing Blender or Food Processor
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Serving Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Garlic cloves Peeled, sprout removed
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1-2 TBL
  • 1 cup Avocado Oil or Neutral flavored oil

Instructions
 

  • Peel the garlic. Slice each clove in half and remove the sprout. The sprout can give the sauce a bitter flavor.
  • Add the garlic, salt and lemon juice to the blender cup for an immersion blender. Blend until the garlic is broken down into a paste.
  • Pour in the avocado oil. Keeping the blender head at the bottom of the cup, start to blend until the mixture starts to emulsify (turn creamy). Move the blender head upwards to incorporate the rest of the oil. Blend until fully combined and thick and creamy.
  • Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or glass storage container.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Large batch recipe: 
  • 1 Cup garlic cloves - Peeled, sprout removed
  • 1 (scant) TBL sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Lemon juice
  • 3 cups Avocado or neutral flavored oil
Process the same as the small batch. 
 
Standing Blender or Food Processor:
Add the garlic, salt and lemon juice to the blender. Blend until it forms a paste and the garlic is broken down. 
Remove the lid insert or feed spout plunger. With the blender (processor) running, slowly pour the oil in a thin stream. Continue to blend until a thick mayonnaise-like consistency is achieved.
