Selection of Ingredients:
When you are selecting which ingredients to use with your
garlic sauce, it is suggested that you use fresh ingredients.
Garlic in oil and other already chopped garlics tend to have a
different flavor than fresh garlic. This can dramatically
change the taste of your dish. You must also treat already
prepared garlic carefully, as it can be dangerous to your
health if not stored as directed on the label.
Preparation: 5 to 10 minutes
All ingredients should be chopped and organized prior to
making sauce. This is particularly important in the case of
cream sauces, as timing is more critical than with a standard
dipping sauce.
Cooking Time (Cream Sauce): 30 minutes to 1 hour
Mixing Time (Dipping Sauce): 5 minutes
Cooking Instructions (Cream Sauce):
The different variances of garlic sauce are cooked in
different manners. The same applies to cream sauces. Depending
on the recipe you use, you may spend more or less time cooking.
As with any cream sauce, it is important to remember that you
take your time. Cream sauces are delicate and require low heat
and cooking for a longer duration so that the milk does not
curdle. Follow the recipes you use carefully, as this will
ensure your garlic sauce comes out with the right flavor and
texture.
Mixing Instructions (Dipping Sauce):
Garlic sauce for dipping is as simple as it gets. Simply
combine in a bowl, mix well, and refrigerate when finished. The
order of mixing is flexible. As a great deal of garlic dipping
sauce is to accommodate tastes, you should sample the sauce
frequently to ensure you are achieving the correct flavor.
Uses:
Garlic sauce is used for a variety of things. It is often
used as a dip for vegetables, cooked meats and chips. It is
commonly used as a marinade for both white and dark meats. Some
people even use garlic sauce as a base for pasta sauces, such
as garlic Alfredo.
Wine based garlic sauces are often used as a pasta sauce, as
the flavor is rich without being as heavy as an Alfredo or
similar white sauce. As garlic pairs well with many things, it
is common base for many dishes.
