How to Make Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce
- Combine garlic, lemon juice, salt, and 1/4 cup of ice water in a food processor or blender.
- Process until finely minced and smooth.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil, starting with a thin stream and gradually increasing the flow. It's crucial to add the oil slowly to ensure emulsification.
- Continue processing until the sauce is thick, creamy, and emulsified. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. You might want to add more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika (optional).
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
