Garlic Fluff (Toum)
This Middle Eastern sauce is a garlic emulsion that resembles mayonnaise. It can be enjoyed on grilled meats, sandwiches or salads. I love making pita sandwich using the toum as the spread.
Ingredients
1 cup raw peeled garlic
2 tsp salt
Juice from one lemon (1/4 cup)
3 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
1
To make the garlic fluff, add the prepared garlic into the bowl of your food processor and chop to a paste, scraping down the bowl as often as needed to create paste.
2
Add the salt and lemon juice, scrapping down the bowl and mixing together with a few pulses.
3
Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil to create and emulsion while the machine is running constantly.
4
Once the oil is emulsified, taste and adjust salt as needed. Transfer the garlic fluff to a sealable container, cover with a paper towel and refrigerate over night to mellow the garlic flavor.
5
Serve with grilled meat, sandwiches or your favorite salad and enjoy! On air, I serve this with sliced London Broil beef on pita bread with micro greens and sliced tomatoes.
