Lebanese Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups canola oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Direction

• Place the garlic cloves and salt in a large food processor and puree until smooth. Turn the machine back on and slowly drizzle in the oil through the lid starting with 1/2 cup. After the first 1/2 cup has been added, pour in a teaspoon of the lemon juice. Continue alternating between 1/2 cup of the canola oil and a teaspoon of the lemon juice until you've added all of the oil and lemon juice. Alternating between the two is the key to proper emulsification which creates the light and fluffy garlic sauce. You know it's done when the sauce is white
