Spanish Style Garlic Sauce

This sauce, thickened with bread in the style of a classic gazpacho, has both body and bite. Stale bread also works well in this recipe, so try it as a way to use up neglected half-loaves.

10 cloves garlic, crushed
10 slices wheat bread, crusts removed
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons water

Combine garlic, bread, olive oil and vinegar in a large bowl; allow to soften for 1 hour.

Blend bread mixture with electric mixer until smooth; do not use a food processor as it will over-process. Stir in lemon juice; then, while mixer is running, slowly add enough water to make a thick yet fluffy sauce. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate.

Makes about 2 cups.
