Preparation

How to prepare Garlic Sauce

To prepare the garlic sauce, wash the potato well and boil it with the skin in salted water 1; when it is cooked (poke it with a fork to check for doneness), drain it and let it cool. Once cool, peel it 2 and cut it into wedges. Clean the garlic and place it in the mixer 3 (if you prefer, you can use a mortar)

add the peeled almonds 4, parsley, vinegar 5, and potatoes 6,

salt, pepper, and blend everything while gradually incorporating the oil (7-8). Once a thick cream is obtained, the garlic sauce is ready to be served with your dishes 9.

Storage

Store the garlic sauce in the refrigerator, well covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for 2-3 days.
Freezing is not recommended.

Tip

Since traditional preparation involves using a mortar, you can use it instead of a mixer: start by crushing the garlic, then transfer the mixture to a bowl where you will add the rest of the ingredients, working with a fork and gradually adding the oil to soften until a smooth cream is obtained.

Curiosity

This sauce is popular in many Mediterranean countries and comes in various versions; in particular, the proposed recipe resembles Skordalia, an eastern sauce whose origin is contested between Greece and Turkey, which includes the addition of walnuts and bread crumbs. Skordalia is generally served as a sauce to flavor fish and meat dishes, but it can also be found as a condiment for both fried and boiled vegetables.
