Lebanese garlic dip

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 2 cloves garlic, more to taste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
  • e.g. oil, neutral, e.g. B. sunflower oil
  • Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Crush the garlic cloves with salt in a mortar and pestle until a paste forms. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, chop the garlic as finely as possible. Combine the egg whites, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl with an immersion blender until well blended. Continue blending, while simultaneously adding the oil in a thin stream until the mixture thickens. Blend a little longer and season with salt to taste. This cream goes wonderfully with grilled or roasted chicken, potatoes, or fish. Note: I usually use between 4-6 garlic cloves, but some people find this too “harsh” and garlicky. It’s possible that it won’t work the first time, and the ingredients won’t blend into a homogenous mass! Don’t give up, keep trying; it’s worth it!
