Refrigerate for up to 1 week in closed container.This is the most famous garlic sauce/garlic paste that is predominantly used in almost every sandwich in the Middle East. It is very flavorful yet not to overpowering. It goes with chicken, fish, beef, potatoes, spread on bread, it goes pretty much on anything. it is definitely worth a try.
that's great and this will last in the fridge for about 30 days as well :)

I was wondering the same thing because I don't eat eggs either. Definitely going to use this as I'm on a 30 day raw food challenge too!

here's another fool proof recipe that will work for you:
-2 cups peeled garlic
-1 cup lemon juice
-6 cups canola oil
-1 tbs salt
...Blend up the garlic and salt until minced, slowly start to add and alternate the oil and lemon juice, you will end up with a nice mayonnaise consistency and this batch will last for up to a month in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Hmmmm, sometimes you just need to blend it a bit longer.

Hi there Dede - Many thanks for your work! I've made this sauce a few times now, but for whatever reason, I've lost the mojo... the first time it had the mayo-like consistency, but since then I've failed to thicken it somehow... and I cannot figure out why. I've done it exactly as you specify. What am I missing, in your opinion? Thanks.

if you learn how to mince the garlic properly so it is smooth then you would prolly electric hand whisk it, or normally whisk it if you take your time.
