Easy Toum Recipe (whipped Lebanese Garlic Sauce)
  1. Prepare your equipment: Grab a medium mason jar, just wide enough to fit an immersion blender.

  2. Blend garlic and lemon: Place the peeled garlic cloves at the bottom of the mason jar. Add the lemon juice and salt. Use the immersion blender to blend the mixture into a smooth garlic paste. Ensure there are no chunks, and the consistency is smooth.

  3. Add oil and emulsify: Pour the avocado oil into the jar with the garlic paste. Insert the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the mason jar. Keeping the blender at the base of the jar, blend without moving it up and down. With the immersion blender running, keep the blender at the base of the jar and blend for 1 minute. Continue blending, slowly bringing the blender up just a little every minute until you reach the top of the jar. This process should take about 5 minutes. Be patient; it’s worth it!

  4. Serve or store: Spoon the toum spread onto a plate to serve. Alternatively, put a lid on the jar and store it in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
