Notes
- 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.
