Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons/90 ml lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely grated (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons/4.5 grams salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon/1 gram chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon/3 grams dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon/15 ml water
  • 3/4 cup/180 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup/60 ml neutral oil such as safflower
  • a few sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine the lemon juice, garlic, salt, chili flakes, oregano and water in a small bowl. Slowly pour in the oils, whisking constantly. Stir in the parsley.
  2. Stir briskly just before using; the lemon and garlic will have settled to the bottom. Salmoriglio is best used the day it’s made, but will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
