- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted ghee
- 4-5 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon capers rinsed and roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Step 1: Melt the Ghee or Butter
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic
Once the ghee is melted, add the minced garlic. Stir it around for about one to two minutes. You’re aiming for a fragrant aroma—don’t let it get burnt! This is where the magic happens. The garlic will softly infuse the butter, filling your kitchen with its irresistible scent.
Step 3: Mix in the Seasonings
Now that the garlic is gently sautéed, it’s time for the flavor party. Add the coarse sea salt, red pepper flakes, and the chopped capers. Combine everything well and let it simmer for an additional minute. The heat will help meld all the flavors together, making them sing in harmony.
Step 4: Incorporate Lemon Zest and Parsley
Finally, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest and fresh parsley. The lemon adds a refreshing zing that cuts the richness of the butter. Once everything is well mixed, give it a taste! Adjust the seasonings if needed. Sometimes, a pinch more salt might be just what you need.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the sauce into a small bowl. Let it cool slightly before serving alongside your favorite pizza, breadsticks, or even veggies for dipping. That’s it! Your sauce is ready to make every bite a little more magical.
Here are some handy tips to get the most out of your dipping sauce:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh garlic and parsley for the best flavor.
- Adjust Spiciness: If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
- Ghee vs. Butter: Ghee provides a nutty flavor, but butter works just fine too.
- Storage: The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Just reheat before serving.
- Vegan Option: Substitute ghee with a vegan butter alternative for a plant-based version.
