Lebanese Garlic Sauce (Toum)

Lebanese Garlic Sauce (Toum)

1 servings
Toum is a Lebanese garlic sauce made with just 4 simple ingredients! It's easy to make because the sauce comes together in a food processor and lasts for months in the fridge!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup garlic cloves

    slice down the center and remove green germ

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups colorless oil

    such as sunflower

Directions

  1. 1

    GARLIC: Pulse the garlic and salt together in the food processor until very finely minced. Scrape down the sides and up the bowl. Run the food processor while adding ¼ cup oil in a slow, steady stream.

  2. 2

    EMULSION: Stop the food processor and scrape down the bowl one last time. Then run the food processor while you add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice very slowly. Alternate between these two ingredients making sure to add in a slow and steady stream. Add in ½ cup of oil, followed by 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Then add ¼ cup of oil, the last tablespoon of lemon juice, and finally the remaining ½ cup of oil.

  3. 3

    REFRIGERATE: Transfer the garlic sauce to a bowl or glass mason jar, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 months. The garlic sauce will lose its garlicky flavor the longer it sits so I usually try to use it within 1 month. The sauce can be consumed immediately or after refrigeration. I find that it tastes better the day after you make it.

Many sauces complement <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/06/dining/roasted-cauliflower-recipe-video.html">roasted cauliflower</a>; this one, from Martha Rose Shulman, is included in her recipe for roasted broccoli. As a matter of inspiration, it comes full circle: Ms. Shulman says she got the idea from one of her favorite Middle Eastern mezes, in which garlic tahini is served with cauliflower — deep-fried this time, rather than roasted.
