Toum

Cultural Context

Toum is a traditional Lebanese garlic sauce, often served as a condiment with grilled meats, shawarma, or as a dip. Its creamy texture and intense garlic flavor make it a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. The sauce is known for its simplicity and versatility, enhancing a variety of dishes. While it is most commonly associated with Lebanese cuisine, variations can be found in other Mediterranean cultures as well.

Servings4
1 egg white
2 garlic cloves
1/3 teaspoon salt

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats.

1

Crush the garlic cloves with salt in a mortar until it becomes a paste.

2

Transfer the garlic paste to a hand blender cup and add the egg white. Pulse for 1-2 minutes until well combined and smooth.

3

While the blade is running, gradually add the oil little by little over around 2 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and fluffy.

4

Adjust the taste with lemon juice by adding 15 ml and pulse for 30 seconds.
