Equipment

  • 1 4 cup food processor

Ingredients 

  • 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled, sliced in thirds, horizontally
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, (can use half neutral oil)
  • 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
  • 1/3 cup cara cara orange juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cara cara orange rind, grated fine
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, (many varieties are vegan)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 medium anchovy fillet, (from jar with oil)
  • 1 large egg yolk*, organic, cage free
  • 1/3 cup parmesan reggiano cheese, grated

Instructions 

  • In a small 8″ skillet, add 2 garlic cloves, (peeled and sliced) with the 2/3 cups of olive oil. Bring to a simmer, then turn heat down to the lowest setting and cook the garlic until it is softened and just a touch of golden around the edges – about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small food processor, add the next nine ingredients, garlic through egg yolk.
  • * you can coddle the eggs first by immersing them in boiling water for 1 minute, before cracking them open, if you have a concern about the raw eggs – discard the white, use the yolk in the dressing.
  • Process until smooth. Add the softened garlic from the skillet, pulse to mix in. Measure the garlic flavored oil from the skillet in a measuring cup.
  • SLOWLY at first drizzle in half of the oil as the machine runs until very thick. Add the remainder in a stream until emulsified and thick. Add the parmesan cheese, pulse to combine, and leave a little coarse.
  • Store in a sterile glass container in the refrigerator. Will stay fresh for up to three weeks.
