Lebanese garlic “Toum” spread

Wednesday Apr 14, 2010


INGREDENTS NEEDED:

  • 2-4 cups of  vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of fresh garlic gloves-peeled
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 boiled eggs  ” egg whites only”
  • 2 tsp of salt-as desired

PREPARATION:

  • In a food processor pulse garlic, egg whites and salt until roughly chopped. Scarping the sides a few times.
  • Leave processor on and slowly poor in the vegetable oil ½ cup at a time with a very thin stream“this step is important as you do not want the garlic sauce to separate on you”.
  • After each ½ cup of oil add 1 tbsp of lemon juice while the processor is still running. Repeat this until all oil and lemon juice is used. Your shoukd be left with a creamy and light spread. (using only 2 cups of the oil gives you a mayo like spread and the more you you add the thinner the sauce, still use all the lemon juice).
  • Remove and serve with hot meats such as tawouk, Shawarma’s and makes a great spread on sandwiches and burgers for the garlic lovers.
  • Store remaining in refrigerator in an air tight container for up 2 weeks.

In the “Toum” recipe, you have “…2 egg whites only boiled”
What does that mean? Are you using the white part of the egg after it is hard boiled?
Thank you
