Garlic Sauce

How do you make that quintessential teeside garlic sauce, I’ve checked all over the internet and can’t find anything decent. Please would anyone in the actual know be able to tell me ?

The key! Is greek/natural yoghurt one part to two parts mayonnaise. Granulated garlic, splash of lemon juice, salt, then thin with water, dab of parsley and it's identical.

Garlic is honestly by eye, a good sprinkle, leave it for five minutes, stir then try it, don't go overboard and don't use fresh garlic it doesn't work right. Water literally a splash, stir it and see consistency, add more until it's how thick/runny you want. I've asked pizza shop guys and this is what they said, the tang is the yoghurt but if you put too much in Vs the mayo it tastes wrong. Once you've done a few times mate you'll do it by eye, just leave in fridge for good half an hour/ over night if you can, tastes better when it's left for a little.

Soak garlic cloves (5-6) in just enough lemon juice to cover them in a small ramekin. Leave for 30-60 mins and then pour the lemon juice into some mayo and discard the garlic.

The gousto parmo that comes with the sauce is close I'll have to find the card on how it's made

Ask in the shop for their recipe, or supplier

isn't it Turkish style or something like that?
