Green Garlic Sauce

 Ingredients: -3-4 cloves of dried garlic -4-5 stalks of green garlic -4-5 tablespoons of oil -2-3 tablespoons of water / mineral water -coarse salt, to taste

To prepare a delicious and aromatic garlic sauce, start by peeling the garlic. Choose a few fresh, high-quality garlic cloves for an intense flavor. Carefully peel them, removing the outer skin. Meanwhile, take some green garlic, which adds a note of freshness to the sauce. Chop the green garlic into smaller pieces, including the leaves, to allow the flavors to blend perfectly.

In a blender or food processor, add the peeled garlic and the green garlic along with a teaspoon of salt, which will enhance the flavors and help with homogenization. Add about 100 ml of water and 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil, which will give a creamy texture and rich flavor. Process the ingredients on high speed until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous paste. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can gradually add more water while mixing constantly.

Once you achieve the desired consistency, transfer the sauce to a clean bowl. It is important to homogenize the mixture well so that there are no larger pieces of garlic remaining. If you feel that the sauce is too strong, add a little more water until you reach your preferred flavor level.

To keep the sauce fresh and tasty, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure it is well sealed. This step is essential, as the oxygen in the air can oxidize the sauce, changing its taste and texture. Regardless of the time that passes between preparation and serving, this measure will ensure the preservation of the intense garlic aroma.

The sauce pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. It can be served alongside fresh vegetables, either raw or cooked, such as carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers. It is also an excellent accompaniment for grilled or baked fish, bringing a wonderful contrast between the meat's flavor and its strong taste. Don't forget to try it with roasted meat dishes, which are enhanced with a splash of sauce, thus enriching the culinary experience. This simple recipe will surely become a favorite in your kitchen!
