That garlic sauce you get with a swarma. Is it a mixture of lard and garlic? Does anyone know?

1. Here's the recipe from my favorite Mid East restaurant. Enjoy.

Garlic Sauce:

1 C Mayonnaise
1/3 C Yogurt
1/4 C Fine chopped garlic*
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Sea Salt

Combine ingredients and mix well.

*You may want to reduce the amount of garlic, but I like a lot.

5. well, mayo ain't that good for you.

Unless you are talking about the Mayo Clinic.

Most traditional recipes are yogurt only, yet Americans love fat!

Hence ...

7. Mayo is just wrong.

It should be a base of oil, yogurt, or tahini depending on which culture's version is used.

2. Likewise, what the heck is the green stuff that comes with Peruvian Pollo de la Braza?

I don't eat the chicken, but the sauce is delicious and I put it on everything...but the Peruvian place is charging me like $4/8oz. for it.

Edit: I thought of it because the Yellow mayo sauce that they serve was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of the garlicky sauce served at the Shawarma Shack.

I'm a sucker for sauces, but not meat. The garlic sauce makes great salad dressing too.
