Toum

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup garlic cloves - peeled roughly 3 heads of garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups canola oil or vegetable not olive!
  • 1/8 - 1/4 cup lemon juice at least 1/8th, more for personal taste

Instructions

  • Whiz the garlic cloves in a medium sized food processor. Pulse for about 10 seconds at a time until almost paste like.
  • Start off with a hearty splash of oil and the salt, and begin the whizzing.
  • Slowly drizzle in the oil, alternating with a portion of the lemon juice every 1/4 cup of oil drizzled in. Don't skip this step!
  • End result will be a fluffy, texture, reminiscent of super whipped mashed potatoes.

Notes

Store in airtight container, in the fridge, for up to a month.
