Its creamy texture and intense garlic flavor make it a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. The sauce is known for its simplicity and versatility, enhancing a variety of dishes. While it is most commonly associated with Lebanese cuisine, variations can be found in other Mediterranean cultures as well.

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats.

1

Strip the garlic, removing both ends and any blemishes.

2

Measure out 1 cup of garlic, packed to the brim.

3

Juice one lemon and set it aside.

4

Plug in the Braun blender and add the garlic to the blender.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the blender with the garlic.

6

Blend the garlic and salt briefly to start the process.

Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spoon.

8

Begin adding oil, starting with 1 spoon at a time, blending after each addition.

9

Continue adding oil gradually, scraping down the sides as needed.

10

Monitor the consistency; if it looks too wet, add less oil and blend carefully.

11

Once the mixture thickens, you can start adding more oil, but do so cautiously.

12

Add a drop of lemon juice and blend, then add another spoon of oil.

13

Continue blending and adding oil until the desired thickness is achieved, being careful not to overdo it.

14

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt as needed.

15

Once creamy and thick, the garlic sauce is ready and can be stored in the fridge.
