Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a chef's knife.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely while stirring gently.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. The goal is to soften the garlic and infuse its flavor into the oil, not to brown it.
Once the garlic is softened and fragrant, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and black pepper, and mix until well combined.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then stir in the chopped parsley.
Transfer the garlic dipping sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for grilled meats. The sauce can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Gently reheat before serving if desired.
