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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a chef's knife.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely while stirring gently.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the garlic is softened and fragrant, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and black pepper, and mix until well combined.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then stir in the chopped parsley.
Step 7
Transfer the garlic dipping sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin.
Step 8
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.
