Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic 1/2 of a clove, or 1 very small clove depending on how much you like raw garlic!
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or thick Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 dash worcestershire sauce optional
  • 1 dash red hot pepper sauce I use about 1/2 teaspoon of Frank's Red hot
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
  • 2 tablespoons asiago cheese grated

Method

  • Peel and crush the garlic clove with a flat side of a chef's knife.
  • Sprinkle with salt and mash the garlic into a paste using the flat side of the chef's knife.
  • (You might find it easier to use the back of a spoon) but I use the knife.
  • Either whisk very vigorously in a small bowl or use a small food processor.
  • Add the lemon juice, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
  • Process or whisk until very well combined.
  • While whisking or with the food processor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Mix and refrigerate until needed to combine the flavors.
  • Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
