Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Zest one lemon to yield one teaspoon of zest and then juice the lemon to obtain about three tablespoons of lemon juice.
