Wasakaka [Recipe + Video] Dominican Garlic Sauce
Report
Wasakaka is a Dominican garlic sauce made by gently cooking garlic and parsley in olive oil, then simmering the mixture in bitter orange juice diluted with water until reduced by half. The sauce is seasoned with salt and black pepper and served alongside chicken or various meats for a bright, garlicky accompaniment.
Description
To make Wasakaka, olive oil is heated over medium heat, then garlic and minced parsley are sautéed briefly until aromatic. Bitter orange juice combined with water is added, and the mixture simmers on low heat until it reduces by half, concentrating flavors. Salt and black pepper are adjusted to taste to finish the sauce.
This sauce offers a bold garlic presence softened by the citrus acidity from bitter orange or lime juice, complemented by fresh parsley. It's commonly served as a condiment for chicken or other meats, where its bright and savory qualities enhance the dish.
