Toum (Lebanese Garlic Sauce) by Allen Neighborhood Center

Ingredients

1 cup Veggie Box garlic cloves peeled (if you don't have a full cup from previous weeks, try halving the recipe) 2 teaspoons Kosher salt 3 cups neutral oil such as canola or safflower ½ cup lemon juice

Instructions

Transfer garlic into a food processor and add the salt. Process for a minute until the garlic becomes finely minced. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor afterwards. With the food processor is running, slowly pour one to two tablespoons of oil, then stop and scrape down the bowl. Continue adding another tablespoon or two until the garlic starts looking creamy. Once the garlic looks emulsified by the few tablespoons of oil, increase the speed of pouring the oil and alternate with the ½ cup of lemon juice until all the oil and lemon juice is incorporated. This will take about 15 minutes to complete. This is great with falafel, on sandwiches, in pasta, on meat, or as a base for salad dressing
