Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them to make blending easier.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, add the chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth consistency. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

  4. 4

    Adjust the Flavor

    Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add more garlic cloves at this stage.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Parsley (Optional)

    If using, add the chopped fresh parsley and pulse a few times to incorporate without fully blending.

Storage

  1. 6

    Store the Sauce

    Transfer the garlic sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
