INGREDIENTS<\/h2>
  • 75 g. garlic cloves<\/li>
  • 720 g. summer squash or zucchini, medium diced<\/li>
  • Neutral oil, for cooking<\/li>
  • 300 g. picked basil<\/li>
  • 6 g. lemon zest<\/li>
  • 3 g. citric acid<\/li>
  • 2 g. ascorbic acid<\/li>
  • 525 g. olive oil<\/li>
  • Salt and lemon juice, to taste<\/li><\/ul><\/div>

    PREPARATION<\/h2>

    • Prepare an ice bath and boil a pot of water. Peel the garlic cloves and blanch in the boiling water for several seconds before transferring to the ice bath. Repeat this process two more times. <\/p>

    • In a pan over medium heat, combine the summer squash and a splash of neutral oil. Cook until soft, about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool completely.<\/p>

    • In a food processor, combine the squash, blanched garlic, basil, lemon zest, citric acid and ascorbic acid. Slowly add the olive oil to mixture while blending to emulsify. Do not over blend.<\/p>

    • Add salt and lemon juice to taste. <\/p>

    • Serve as a spread for a tomato salad, a sauce for a fish, or toss pasta in it with some grated cheese.<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
