2-3 cloves garlic, with skin on

1 teaspoon umeboshi vinegar

1 tablespoon white miso

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon cumin powder

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for topping

a little sea salt to taste (if necessary)

sumac or roasted paprika powder for topping

1. Pan-roast garlic cloves with skin on for about 5 minutes over low heat until lightly browned. Let cool and peel skin. Set aside.
