Ultimate Lebanese Garlic Spread Recipe: Creamy Deliciousness
  • Prep Time

  • Cook Time
  • Total Time
    15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic heads, peeled
  • 1 tbsp of salt
  • 3 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 cups of canola oil

Step 1

Begin by placing garlic cloves in a food processor fitted with the cutting blade, and pulse until a smooth paste forms. Sprinkle in some salt for seasoning and use a spatula to nudge the garlic towards the center of the bowl. Pulse again gently to blend the flavors further, ensuring the garlic is evenly mixed.

Step 2

Next, attach the drizzle adapter to the food processor and gradually trickle in 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice while the processor runs on low speed. Slowly stream in 1 cup of oil; watch as the mixture emulsifies and takes on a creamy, white appearance. Pause the processor to scrape down the sides, then introduce the rest of the lemon juice slowly on low speed. Proceed to add the remaining 2 cups of oil gradually, processing until the spread achieves a lusciously thick and creamy consistency.

Step 3

Once the garlic spread reaches the desired texture, transfer it to a storage container with a secure lid and refrigerate until it's time to enjoy. This flavorful spread will be a versatile addition to your culinary creations.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your fresh garlic bulbs in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting and maintain their flavor.
  2. 2. Store your homemade Lebanese garlic spread in small airtight containers to preserve its creamy texture.
  3. 3. For a burst of freshness, add a drizzle of olive oil on top of the spread before sealing the container.
