Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream Halal certified
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the tablespoon of olive oil. Allow it to warm for about a minute, just until it shimmers.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking it gently for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Gradually add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken slightly.
  4. Sprinkle in salt and pepper according to your liking, and taste as you go.
  5. Once the sauce has reached the desired thickness, remove it from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half. For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream. Avoid burnt garlic and overcooking to maintain a creamy texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
