BRAZILIAN GARLIC SAUCE (MOLHO DE ALHO)

Brazilian Garlic Sauce (Molho de Alho) image

This is a sauce seen commonly at many Brazilian churrascarias and restaurants. It is most often used as a condiment for grilled meats and sometimes as the topping for what Brazilians call garlic bread. Good stuff. Serve with grilled chicken or steak. Good with pasta, too.
