- 1/4 cup water or as needed
- 2 garlic cloves or to taste
- 1/4 tsp himalayan salt
- Red pepper flakes to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor, and pulse until there are no large chunks of any of the ingredients left, but there is still some texture. If needed, add extra water one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.
- Transfer to a bowl or glass jar. Can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
