How to Prepare Toum (Garlic Sauce) [Vegan]
- In a large food processor, combine the garlic and water and run it for a few minutes until well blended, about a minute. With the food processor running, start to slowly stream in the oil. I use the emulsifier lid of my food processor. It’s important to stream in the oil in a hair-thin line. After streaming in 2 cups (475 ml) of the oil, turn off the food processor and add the citric acid and salt.
- Turn on the food processor once more and continue to stream in the rest of the oil. Keep a close eye on it toward the end, and stop when the mixture reaches a fluffy consistency. Otherwise, it could end up overmixing and then separating.
- Once emulsified and fluffy, scoop the toum into a glass jar. As it is stabilized with citric acid, it can now be stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 months. It can be very spicy when freshly made, but the spiciness will mellow out in the fridge after a few days.
