Toum (garlic Aioli)
  1. Using a small knife, peel the garlic cloves until you have a ½ cup worth. Measure out 1.5 cups of oil and set aside. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon (2 tablespoons) and set aside.

  2. Place the peeled garlic into the bowl of your food processor. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and pulse until finely minced. Add half the lemon juice and pulse to combine.

  3. With the food processor running, begin adding the oil slowly in a very thin stream. Once you have added about a half cup, add the remaining lemon juice. Keep the food processor running and you should see a white paste beginning to form.

  4. Slowly add the remaining oil and keep processing for a total of 5-7 minutes until a white fluffy paste has formed. Taste for salt.

  5. Add ¼ cup of mayonnaise to lessen the sharp garlic taste and pulse to combine. ** (Optional)
