Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 units garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 unit scotch bonnet pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them to make blending easier.
Carefully remove the seeds and membranes from the scotch bonnet pepper to reduce heat if desired, and chop the pepper into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, add the garlic, mayonnaise, lime juice, olive oil, white vinegar, sugar, scotch bonnet pepper, salt, and water.
If using cilantro for added flavor, chop it roughly and add it to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Pour the garlic sauce into a clean jar or container with a lid.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve as a condiment or dip, and enjoy with your favorite fried foods, roasted meats, or seafood.
