Instructions
Peel garlic cloves and trim slightly to remove the dry brown stem end. Do not smash the cloves.
Add peeled garlic cloves to fill a 1 cup measuring cup then add cold water to fill the cup.
1 cup fresh garlic cloves, cold water
Then add garlic and water to a large food processor. Process on medium until a smooth paste forms, about 1 minute.
Once the garlic is smooth begin to slowly stream oil into the processor at a rate of about 2 minutes per cup of oil. Garlic and oil mixture will slowly begin to emulsify and thicken.
4 cups light oil
Once the oil has been completely incorporated and mixture is thick, add salt, then pulse in the lemon juice which will thicken the garlic sauce even more.
