Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 head garlic
    1/4 cup milk (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
    1 slice white bread, crusts removed
    1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
Preparation
    Separate garlic into cloves and peel. I simmered the cloves in milk in a small saucepan for 5 minutes to take a little of the bitterness out. Feel free to skip this step if you like.
    Add garlic and remaining ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Keeps quite a few days refridgerated in a sealed container. Great with any kind of grilled meat, on sandwiches, with veggies, pizza -- pretty much anything!
    NOTE: I happened to have some cream so I added it, just to give it a bit of extra creaminess. I'm sure it would be just fine without it, as none of the recipes I referred to called for it.
