Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup grapefruit juice
  • 8 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano or dried herbes de Provence mix
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium onion peeled and finely chopped

Instructions

  • Peel, smash and chop garlic.
  • On a cutting board add kosher salt over top of chopped garlic. Use the back of the knife to smash the salt down and mash the garlic into a paste.
  • You can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor in place of the knife work. If using a food processor, pulse several times until you get a smooth paste.
  • Add all the ingredients into a large mason jar. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake it until thoroughly mixed. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. This is a great idea for food preppers.

Notes

  • Shake Before Use: Make sure you shake the blend well before every use, in order to mix and distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
