Toum (Lebanese Garlic Spread)

Toum (Lebanese Garlic Spread)

Preparation

Step 1


Put garlic cloves in a food processor with the cutting blade in place. Pulse until smooth. Add salt. Use a spatula to push garlic into the middle of the bowl. Pulse again on low. Use the spatula to push down garlic again.


Step 2


Using the drizzle adapter in the food processor, slowly pour in 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice on low speed. Pour in 1 cup oil; spread will emulsify and start to turn white. Turn off the processor and scrape down the sides. Add remaining lemon juice on low speed. Slowly add remaining 2 cups oil, processing until spread is thick and creamy.


Step 3


Transfer garlic spread to a storage bowl with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
