Smart Cooking Tips
- Slowly drizzle in the oil while blending to help create a smooth, stable emulsion.
- If the mixture separates, add a little cold water and continue blending to bring it back together.
Step 1
Peel your garlic cloves and tossing them into a food processor. Pulse everything until the garlic is finely chopped and smooth. Sprinkle in some salt, then scrape down the sides with a spatula and pulse a few more times on low to keep it all coming together.
Step 2
With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in about 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Once that’s combined, start pouring in 1 cup of oil little by little—the mixture will begin to thicken and turn a creamy white. Turn off the machine and scrape down the sides again to make sure everything gets mixed in.
Step 3
Add the rest of the lemon juice while the processor is running on low, then very slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 cups of oil. Keep blending until the spread is thick, smooth, and fluffy.
Step 4
When it’s ready, transfer your garlic spread to a bowl with a lid and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.
