Easy Garlic Sauce (Toum)
This bomb garlic sauce is not for the faint of heart. You have to be a garlic lover to enjoy this one in all its spicy garlicky goodness.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg white (optional - but recommended to give it that light whipped feeling)
- 1 cup canola oil (a light tasting oil is best)
Instructions
- It is best to do this in a high speed blender or with immersion blender so you can slowly pour the oil in while blending.
- Place all the ingredients into a tall jar (or in your blender).
- Start to blend on low speed, and at the same time slowly pour in the oil.
- As you add the oil and blend, the liquid will thicken and turn a bright white. Continue blending for about 20 seconds after the oil is finished.
- The sauce will be light and fluffy with a strong garlicky odour and flavour.
Notes
Sauce keeps well for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
