Directions:
1. In a food processor, puree the garlic and salt.

2. With the food processor turned on, gradually add ½ cup oil. This is
extremely important- the paste will separate if you add the oil too quickly.
 
3. Slowly add 2 tsp lemon juice.

4. Continue adding ½ cup oil followed by 2 tsp lemon juice until all the
ingredients are added.

Do not exceed these amounts, or the paste will separate. Serve at room
temperature or chilled.

I go eat at a place specifically cause they have this fantastic garlic paste they serve with most everything. It looks the same and they said they make it with canola oil but I don't know about the lemon, will definitely be making this to try at home. Served with chicken kabobs.

I made this successfully at a friends home but when I make it at my home I get a pourable liquid content even when adding the ingredients slowly. My blender is much more powerful. Could that be why?
