Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh garlic cloves peeled (from 2-3 large heads)
- 2 cups neutral oil like avocado oil, canola, grapeseed, or safflower.
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves and either slice or crush them gently in half to remove any visible green sprouts in the middle.
- Add the sliced garlic into a food processor along with the salt. Blend for a couple of minutes until the garlic is finely chopped. Pause and scrape down the sides of the food processor and blend again.
- While the food processor is running, add 2 tablespoons of the oil and let it continue to blend for 2 minutes. Pause again and scrape down the garlic.
- Repeat step 3 two more times or until the garlic starts to look creamy.
- Then add the rest of the oil and lemon juice. Blend again continuously until the garlic becomes creamy white, fluffy, and fully incorporated. This may take another 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the garlic/toum sauce to a container or lidded jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
