Ingredients

For the Sauce

3-4 cloves Fresh Garlic Provides aromatic depth and robust flavor; avoid pre-minced garlic for the best taste.
0.5 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Contributes richness and smooth emulsification to the sauce, enhancing mouthfeel.
1 juice Lemon Juice Adds zesty acidity that balances the sauce's flavors; fresh lemon is best, but white wine vinegar is a suitable substitute.
1 handful Fresh Parsley Introduces vibrant color and fresh flavor; swap with basil for a different twist.

Optional Variations

to taste Crushed Red Pepper Flakes For a spicy kick, add these to increase the heat level of your Amogio sauce.

Method

Directions

Start by peeling 3 to 4 cloves of fresh garlic and finely mincing them on a cutting board. Aim for a fine consistency.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic with ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil and the juice of one fresh lemon. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute.
Finely chop a handful of fresh parsley and fold it into your mixture for vibrant color and flavor.
Let the Amogio sauce sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Give the sauce a quick stir before serving. Drizzle generously over grilled meats, vegetables, or crusty bread.
