Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce

Submitted by Kmac

"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 !!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1/2 cup

ingredients

• 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)

directions

1. 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.
2. 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!
3. 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.

Use Canola Salad Oil instead of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
