Garlic sauce: The secret ingredient elevating homemade flavor
Garlic sauce is a favorite addition for many. It complements homemade pizza with thick yeast dough, salads, toasts, and meats. One simple twist can elevate the flavor to a level that even your favorite restaurant's sauce cannot match.
In my household, garlic sauce is always in high demand. It accompanies roasted or grilled meats, is included in pasta salads with chicken and corn, and my children eagerly spread a thick layer on homemade mushroom casseroles. The preparation seems straightforward, after all, it’s just garlic, yogurt, and a dash of mayonnaise. However, I add one unexpected ingredient that enhances this distinctive dip. For years, my garlic sauce was considered the best. Once I revealed my secret, everyone started making it the same way.
Garlic sauce - simple recipe
A good garlic sauce starts with a good base, which begins with the garlic itself. It’s worth choosing garlic with the most aroma and flavor.
The secret of my sauce lies in an unusual addition: a bit of honey. At first glance, it might seem odd—garlic sauce with honey. However, it's a masterful combination. Honey enhances the flavor and, in the right amount, does not overwhelm the dish.
Ingredients:
- 7 ounces of plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Half a teaspoon of honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions:
- Transfer the yogurt to a bowl and add the mayonnaise.
- Press the garlic through a garlic press. Adjust the number of cloves to your preference.
- Mix thoroughly with honey, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.
A simple and tasty garlic sauce with a bit of honey is ready. Enjoy!
