Preparation Directions

1. Prepare the Garlic

Peel the garlic cloves and crush them using a garlic press or finely chop them.

2. Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

3. Blend the Sauce

Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

4. Infuse Charcoal Flavor

Add a piece of charcoal to the sauce mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavor.

5. Strain the Sauce

After infusion, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the charcoal and any garlic pieces.

6. Store and Serve

Transfer the sauce to a clean jar and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with Shawerma Plates or Bone-in Chicken.
