Instructions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and make sure to remove any green shoots from the center, as they can add bitterness to the sauce.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the peeled garlic cloves and pulse until they are finely minced. You might need to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl a few times to ensure even chopping.
Step 3
Once the garlic is minced, add half of the lemon juice and start blending on low speed.
Step 4
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil in a steady stream. The mixture will begin to emulsify and thicken. Continue adding the oil until you achieve a mayonnaise-like consistency.
Step 5
At this point, add the remaining lemon juice and the salt. Blend again until everything is well combined and the sauce has a smooth, creamy texture.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Step 7
Transfer the Lebanese garlic sauce (toum) to a clean, airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator. It should last for several weeks.
