Tips

To ensure your Donkey Sauce reaches peak flavor, use freshly roasted garlic instead of raw—it gives the sauce a sweeter, more balanced complexity. Chilling the sauce helps the flavors meld, so prepare it ahead when possible. Keep it stored in an airtight container and use within a week. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of water. For stronger garlic intensity, add an extra clove or two. This sauce is adaptable, so feel free to tweak seasoning to suit your taste.
