Although I included this with my recipe for crab cakes, its many other uses get overlooked. The true garlic lover will use this with any kind of fish cakes or loaves, burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, wings, veggies, etc., etc.

Great stuff! I added a couple shakes of cumin and it was delicious. Made my grilled chicken sandwich taste like it came from a fancy sandwich shop. Didn't have an hour to refrigerate it, but I can imagine how good it would be if I did. This one's a keeper for sure!

zomg this is dangerously tasty! i left out the cilantro as i'm in the cilantro-hater's camp. otherwise found this to be easy and great. think i might have been a touch heavy handed with the garlic, will use a normal sized glove instead of a really big one next time. i, too, used tabasco, more like 1/4 tsp and found it quite enough with the pepper and the raw garlic

I served this with chicken used in Shoarma Spice Mix. I used Tabasco sauce for the hot sauce in a much smaller amount. I liked the addition of the fresh coriander but would not use it next time if serving with the same thing. Also I did crush my garlic so I used less and then it sat overnight in the fridge and it's taste became stronger. I wouldn't leave for so long next time out of preference. I used Helmans Olive oil mayonnaise to be soy free and did not add any additional salt because it didn't need it. I like to add a bit of Balkan yogurt to make it lighter as well. I will make this again with my modifications and would love to find something to serve it with while using the fresh coriander.
