Recipe variations

Steam expands quickly in a blender, and can cause ingredients to splatter everywhere or cause burns. To prevent this, fill the blender only one-third of the way up, vent the top, and cover with a folded kitchen towel while blending.

Notes

Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You may have to re-emulsify before eating leftovers as ingredients may separate and settle at the bottom of the dish

Browning of the garlic clove can be done by baking in the oven or by sautéing with oil in a non-stick skillet. This will add some caramelization to the outside of the garlic cloves and provide an extra element of favor.
