Garlic Toum Sauce

Ingredients:

• 10 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Slice the garlic cloves in half and remove any green sprouts. 
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic and salt. Process until the garlic is finely minced.
3. With the blender or food processor running, slowly add the lemon juice in a steady stream.
4. Continue to blend the mixture, slowly adding the oil in a steady stream until the sauce is thick and emulsified.
5. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Garlic toum sauce is a traditional condiment in Lebanese cuisine, and it is often served with grilled meats, such as shawarma or kebabs. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or pita chips, or as a condiment for sandwiches.

This garlic toum sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, in an air tight sealed container, for about 2-3 weeks.

Enjoy!
