Ok so…I"m in Toronto these days and the few arab food places 've been to have this amazing garlic sauce.. It’s different than what I’ve had in NYC in that it’s light and fluffy in its texture.
Anyone know what exactly it’s called, can it be bought at a grocery store, and how can I make it??

Boil the potato with 2 cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt until potato is tender. Drain the water.
Add all the ingredients into a blender including the boiled potato and garlic. Blend until completely smooth. Sauce will be somewhat sticky and thick. Adjust salt to your taste.
Re: Garlic sauce
a potato? Interesting!
Re: Garlic sauce
That’s the recipe I use too
Re: Garlic sauce
The potato sounds odd but I think I’m going to try it out…does it give a creamy texture?
what is fresh cream, is it just heavy whipping cream?
Re: Garlic sauce
Fresh cream is just regular whipping cream…the potato gives it a nice smooth consistency and helps bind it together
