Scampi Sauce for Scolari's Scampi Fries
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 6 to 8 servings
- Total: 15 min
- Active: 15 min
Ingredients
1 cup garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups 75/25 percent blended oil (olive/canola)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Crushed red chili flakes
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Directions
- Pulse the garlic in a food processor in short 1-second bursts. After 3 or 4 times, open the lid and scrape down the sides. Continue to pulse until the garlic is finely minced but not mushy or pureed (this can also be done by hand).
- Empty the garlic into a mixing bowl and add the oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice and stir well.
- The scampi sauce can be added to many items: try it with French fries, tater tots or chicken wings. When the item of your choice is out of the oven or fryer, add it to a mixing bowl with a few well mixed ladles of scampi sauce and some salt, pepper and chili flakes. Toss well and top generously with chopped fresh parsley.
