Description
I’ve received a bunch of requests to make this, and after tasting it, I understand why. If you’re a garlic lover, you’re going to want to pull out your bucket list and add this recipe to it. I absolutely love this, and I think you will too. Serve over white rice with fresh lemon wedges.

- being careful not to shake too hard. Chop peeled cloves into relatively small pieces.
