Serbian Garlic Sauce

Peel and mince the 6 garlic cloves finely, breaking them down as small as possible to release their full flavor.

Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat, then add the minced garlic and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Remove the pan from heat and let the garlic-infused oil cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

Transfer the garlic and oil to a bowl, then add the mayonnaise with starch and stir until well combined.

Add a pinch of white pepper and a few drops of lemon juice, stirring thoroughly to incorporate the seasonings evenly.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice for brightness or pepper for heat as desired. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
