6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (I did more like 3/4 teaspoon because John likes the spice)
about 1/2 cup hot water

Place the garlic clove in the food processor and pulse a few times. Dump the rest of the ingredients in to the food processor, except for the hot water, and run for 3-4 minutes. After the first 30 seconds...
