This is not a recipe blog, this is a process blog. I never understood how people write recipes. My tastes and process will be different from yours, taste at every step and when you think it tastes amazing, stop.

Start with one head of peeled garlic in the bowl of a small food-processor, add a small handful of fresh parsley and a few sprigs of thyme - a sprig of fresh rosemary would have been nice, but I don't have any. Process for a few seconds. Add some kosher salt, black pepper and 1/4 cup (or so) of the oil of your choice - I had peanut. Pulse. Add vinegar - I used rice vinegar, but cider would have been nice, brown mustard, and a bit of honey. Pulse. It tasted a bit flat to me so I added ground sage (fresh would be nice), smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and more salt. Pulse. I wanted to add some anchovy paste, but I'm out, so I added Thai fish sauce, Woustershire and a bit of balsamic vinegar. Pulse. Needs more sour - Lemon juice and more rice vinegar. Pulse. Mmmm, just right.
