Lebanese Garlic Sauce (Toum) image

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/8 cup peeled garlic cloves (~2 bulbs)
1 3/8 cups vegetable oil
6 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • In the bowl of your food processor, add the 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and the peeled garlic cloves. Pulse until chopped. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to pulse until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl one last time before securing the lid.
  • With the food processor running, very slowly pour 1/4 cup of oil in thin steady stream through the hole of your lid or the food chute. Stop and allow the processor to run for 30 seconds before adding in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat this step until both the oil and lemon juice are gone.
  • Once all the oil and lemon juice have been used, continue to process the garlic sauce until light and fluffy, about 30 to 45 more seconds.
  • Remove the bowl from the food processor and take out the blade. Allow the sauce to cool on the counter for 1 hour or until the sauce has cooled down before storing.
