Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based feta cheese
  • 810 whole garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon natural gelling agent (e.g., pectin)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap whole garlic cloves in foil and roast them for about 40 minutes until soft and golden. This process mellows the garlic’s sharpness and develops a sweet, caramelized flavor.
  2. Prepare the Base: In a food processor or blender, combine the plant-based feta cheese, roasted garlic cloves, and fresh lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  3. Add Seasonings and Texture: Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while blending to achieve a silky consistency. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sea salt, ground black pepper, and natural gelling agent. Blend until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Final Blend and Taste Adjustment: Blend once more to combine all flavors thoroughly. Taste the dip and adjust with additional salt or lemon juice if desired, ensuring a balanced mix of tangy, creamy, and savory notes.

Notes

  • Roast garlic slowly to achieve a mellow, sweet flavor without bitterness.
  • Use room temperature plant-based feta cheese for smoother blending and creamy texture.
  • Add olive oil gradually to avoid making the dip too runny while achieving silkiness.
  • Balance the acidity by gradually adding lemon juice to complement the garlic and cheese without overpowering.
  • Chill the dip for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
