Remove any sprout.

In a small non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil.
Toss in the sprout-free, thinly sliced garlic,
A sprig of thyme,
A sprig of rosemary, if you have any!

To develop its fragrance!

Incorporate a small spoonful of honey
For a little tang, as well as
A pinch of salt.

Taste and
Rectify the salt if needed.

Before serving, grate the peel of a thoroughly washed lemon over the sauce.
