The classic garlic dressing came about thanks to the French. Chopped and grated with olive oil and herbs, garlic is crazy popular not only in its place of birth - in the south of France, but also among Italians - pizza lovers. And in our latitudes, a recipe for garlic sauce with mayonnaise has taken root. This is one of the modifications of the classic seasoning in which vegetable oil is replaced by ingredients such as mayonnaise or sour cream.
The algorithm for preparing garlic sauce is quite simple and does not require special culinary talents. Refueling is able to diversify and piquantly emphasize the taste of even the most ordinary meal. For example, boiled potatoes.

Feature. The story of how to cook garlic sauce begins with the development of the classic - French recipe. It lacks mayonnaise or sour cream. The place of honor of the basic ingredient is olive oil. But the culinary experts are still arguing about the method of chopping the leading role - garlic. Some say that according to the rules, fragrant teeth should be ground in a mortar. Others insist that only garlic, passed through a manual press, can give a maximum of taste and aroma. You are free to choose the method that you think is most preferable.
Before you put the sauce in the refrigerator, transfer it to a vessel with a tight-fitting lid. If this is not done, after half an hour, not only the inside of the refrigerator will smell of garlic, but also everything that is stored in it. At home, you can store the finished liquid seasoning for up to seven days. From time to time, the sauce must be mixed, preventing its separation.
The garlic seasoning recipe described above is a kind of culinary canvas. Using it, you can experiment and discover more and more new tastes of your favorite sauce. For example, olive oil can be replaced with cheaper and more popular sunflower in our area. But it must be refined. As well as sesame oil, which can also become a worthy basis for this dish. The desire to achieve a fundamentally new taste will lead you to recipes based on mayonnaise, sour cream or other sour-milk products. And the search for an interesting finishing touch is to use fresh spices, cheese, tomato or nuts.
Feature. There are two ways to prepare garlic sauce at home. The first of these involves the use of store-bought mayonnaise. However, it is preferable to use homemade mayonnaise as the basis - a sauce prepared with your own hands on the basis of natural products, of which you are completely confident. Such mayonnaise is absolutely safe for health and will not harm even children. In addition, it is much more tender in taste and goes well with homemade shawarma.

Before marriage, I had no idea how many sauces exist in this world. I had one in my culinary repertoire - mayonnaise. I served it to almost all dishes, seasoned salads with them, and considered myself a good cook. The only plus is that I learned how to make homemade mayonnaise, which, in fact, is not at all difficult.
The eyes of a variety of various dressings and sauces were opened to me by a newly made husband - a gourmet, a culinary specialist and a lover of fried potatoes. To her, he traditionally served garlic sauce, the recipe of which he learned as a student of cooking classes.
By the way, in the husband’s family they only eat fried potatoes, and whoever comes to them for dinner, immediately ask for this recipe.
Kitchen appliances and utensils: mortar, pestle, whisk, gravy boat or bowl.
In this recipe, garlic sauce is prepared with mayonnaise and served with fried potatoes, just like in my family. They use a mortar to grind, but, in my inexperience, I used garlic presses for the first time, and then switched to a blender.

Based on this recipe you can cook:
The classic version of this sauce is cooked in olive oil with the addition of raw yolks, garlic, salt and lemon juice. Our culinary specialists decided to simplify everything. Everyone knows that vegetable oil and eggs, with gradual whipping, form mayonnaise as a result.
Therefore, in a simplified version, it became the basis for garlic sauce. Those who do not use mayonnaise because of the harmfulness and calorie content, I recommend a recipe for sour cream and garlic sauce.
It tastes more tender, and is much healthier.
