Notes

  • *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • There is usually enough juice in one average-sized lemon for this sauce.
  • Slicing the garlic clove down the center and removing the core is the way to go for this recipe. It will give you a more mellow garlic taste. Leaving the center core in the cloves gives you a more sharp garlic flavour.
  • If you want to see a demonstration of how to remove the core from the garlic cloves, I show you how at the very start of the recipe video which is just above the recipe instructions above.
  • It's important that you don't burn the garlic because it becomes bitter.
  • Adding the lemon juice once the pan is off the heat helps to keep that bright fresh lemon taste.
  • If you don't have unsalted butter that's ok, salted butter is fine just adjust the amount of salt required at the end.
