Ingredients
- 5 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons ice cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and remove any green shoots, which can make the toum bitter.
Step 2
Place the garlic cloves and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped and forms a paste. This should take about 10-15 seconds.
Step 3
Stop the processor and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all garlic bits are processed evenly.
Step 4
Add the fresh lemon juice to the garlic paste and process for another 30 seconds to blend well.
Step 5
With the food processor running, start to slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of avocado oil in a thin, steady stream. This part is essential to create an emulsion.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of ice cold water to the mix. Continue processing for a few seconds.
Step 7
Repeat the process: Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of avocado oil while the processor is running, followed by an additional tablespoon of ice cold water.
Step 8
Once all ingredients are blended, continue to process for another 1-2 minutes until the toum is fluffy and has a smooth, creamy texture.
Step 9
Taste the toum and adjust salt or lemon juice if necessary. If it's too thick, you can add an additional 1 tablespoon of ice-cold water to adjust the consistency.
Step 10
Transfer the toum to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve with grilled meats, as a dressing, or spread on vegetables.
