Keyword apricot, apricot toum, garlic, garlic sauce

Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Garlic cloves (Peeled)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup Lemon juice (Fresh)
  • 3 cups Grapeseed oil

Instructions

  • Place the garlic and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Turn it on and blend until the mixture is puréed. If you need to, scrape the garlic on the sides of the bowl down with a spatula.
  • Add 1 cup of dried apricots and process to combine.
  • Turn the food processor on again and begin adding small batches of grapeseed oil and lemon juice. You'll want to start with 1/4 cup of oil, and then add a teaspoon of lemon juice. Alternate in this fashion until both liquids are fully incorporated into the apricot garlic paste and the sauce has a mayo-like consistency. This process should take around 10 minutes. When it's done, let it cool to room temperature, and then transfer it to an airtight container and put in the refrigerator.

Notes

This should keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least a few weeks.
