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.

@Rip22jawRunescape yes you MUST add the ingredients slowly as I do in the video

Using the recipe that does not contain egg, the consistency was runny. Do you need to beat it a long time in the food processor? Why would it be runny?

For those getting a runny consistency, experiment with reducing the lemon juice a little bit. I tend to use a few tablespoons less than the recipe calls for and it works great. :D And don't forget the egg whites should be cold, it really makes a difference!

I made this, unfortunately it had a water consistency but tasted fine. Any suggestions on what I can do with this stuff? A marinade maybe?

I tried it..but I dont know why it was thinner, not that thick like yours ..any tip?

I tried making the sauce as well, following your directions, but it came out very runny. Traditionally mayonnaise is made by whisking/blending the egg whites first, before adding the oil drop by drop, otherwise the emulsion doesn't work. Maybe this is why I'm having a problem??

@dntgocrazy4 you have to add the ingredients very slowly to the food processor. 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

@mandoniqquh yep this is the way to make it :) If you want to try it in bulk, try this one:
-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.
