Herbed Lemon Garlic Sauté with Avocado Oil

Ingredients

- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 4 large cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, oregano, and thyme), chopped
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

Begin by peeling and mincing the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and then juice it. Chop the fresh herbs of your choice.

2. Heat the Oil:

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil and allow it to heat for about 2 minutes, or until shimmering but not smoking.

3. Sauté the Garlic:

Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently to ensure it does not burn. Sauté for approximately 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden.

4. Season and Sauté:

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the salt and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine with the garlic.

5. Incorporate the Herbs:

Add the chopped herbs to the mixture, stirring well to distribute the flavors evenly. Allow this mixture to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Add Lemon Elements:

Pour in the lemon juice and sprinkle in the lemon zest. Stir to incorporate all the flavors, cooking for an additional minute.

7. Final Touches:

Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

8. Serve:

Transfer the herbed lemon garlic sauté to a serving dish. It can be served alongside grilled meats, vegetables, or even as a topping for toasts or salads.
