How to make Mutawameh

Preparation method
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil and thickens to a gel-like consistency. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. In an electric mixer, place the cooled cornstarch mixture, garlic, salt, vinegar, and lemon juice and begin mixing at medium speed. While mixing, slowly add the oil until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Gradually add the iced water until you reach the desired consistency. Test the consistency and saltiness, and add more water or salt to taste. Refrigerate the mixture in an airtight container for an hour before serving.
