Thick-Style Lebanese Garlic Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: )  PHOTO BY: Linda 

"This version is a fail-safe recipe that our family has perfected for the Lebanese Garlic Sauce. It can be used as a condiment on grilled meats, as a salad dressing, and in dishes that require good garlic flavor. We have found immersion blending works much better than using the blender. If you double the batch, don't double the salt, rather use 1 1/2 tablespoons."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 head garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup olive oil (not extra virgin)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the garlic, salt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and olive oil in a quart-sized jar. Submerge an immersion blender in the mixture to the bottom of the jar. Mix with the blender resting on the bottom of the jar until the ingredients thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Angle the mixer to pull ingredients from the sides of the jar and lift it toward the top to better combine. Continue blending until the mixture reaches a texture similar to mayonnaise.
