Ingredients
Scale
Core Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb (for roasting)
- 1 cup whipped feta (plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon natural lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the whole garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap tightly in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are golden, soft, and caramelized.
- Combine Ingredients: After the garlic has cooled enough to handle, squeeze the softened garlic cloves into a food processor. Add the whipped feta (plant-based), natural lemon juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the natural gelling agent.
- Whip Until Fluffy: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the dip and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sea salt, lemon juice (natural), or black pepper to achieve your desired flavor balance.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, though it can be served immediately. Garnish as desired before serving.
Notes
- Wrap garlic tightly in foil to ensure even roasting without drying out.
- Use fresh lemon juice (natural) and quality olive oil for a brighter, richer flavor.
- Adding the right amount of natural gelling agent gives the dip its light, whipped texture perfect for dipping or spreading.
- The dip benefits from resting overnight to deepen and meld flavors.
- Adjust seasoning or add fresh herbs like thyme, dill, or basil to personalize your dip.
