Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce image

I've hunted for years to find a Garlic Sauce like the one that used to be served in my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant with Shawarma. I combined a couple different recipes and EUREKA!! If you love a good Garlic Sauce, be warned.. you may also be eating this on EVERYTHING until it is gone !!

Time 15m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
1/4 cup milk (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
1 slice white bread, crusts removed
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Separate garlic into cloves and peel. I simmered the cloves in milk in a small saucepan for 5 minutes to take a little of the bitterness out. Feel free to skip this step if you like.
  • Add garlic and remaining ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Keeps quite a few days refridgerated in a sealed container. Great with any kind of grilled meat, on sandwiches, with veggies, pizza -- pretty much anything!
  • NOTE: I happened to have some cream so I added it, just to give it a bit of extra creaminess. I'm sure it would be just fine without it, as none of the recipes I referred to called for it.
