Ingredients
- 6 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cups olive oil
- 1 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a food processor or blender.
Step 2
Add the salt to the garlic and pulse until the garlic is finely minced, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 3
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the lemon juice in small increments. Stop and scrape down the sides periodically to ensure even blending.
Step 4
Begin adding the olive oil very slowly, just one drop or a thin stream at a time, while the processor is still running. This step is crucial to achieving a creamy emulsion.
Step 5
Alternate between adding olive oil and small amounts of cold water, continuing to blend while streaming in each ingredient. Do not rush this step as adding too much liquid too fast may cause the sauce to separate.
Step 6
Once all the olive oil and water have been incorporated, the mixture should have a thick, fluffy, and creamy texture. Taste and adjust the salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the toom to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop before serving.
Step 8
Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or low-carb flatbreads.
