Mougue: Italian Salsa

Ingredients
 

  • 3 garlic cloves; minced
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5-6 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1-4 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; start with 1 and add more to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • *sometimes I like to add in chopped fresh parsley as well!

Instructions
 

  • Make a paste out of the garlic, salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil by smashing them together on a cutting board with the side of a knife until a paste is made
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a food processor, add in the garlic paste, and blend together until combined but STILL chunky; not too smooth, it’s better if it still has some texture
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pour in a separate bowl
  • Let stand at room temperature for a couple hours to let the ingredients marry
  • This can also be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator
