  • 1 garlic clove
  • ¾ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1.5 tbsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling

  2. Cut 1 lemon in half, remove any visible seeds, and squeeze juice into a small bowl. You should have 3–4 Tbsp.
  3. Smash 1 garlic clove with the flat side of your knife on a cutting board and remove peel. Continue to mash with side of knife until a paste forms. (You can also grate garlic on a microplane if you have one—you're just looking for a fine paste.)

  5. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
