Ingredients

  • 1 cup (about 20 cloves) garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup neutral oil (vegetable or light olive)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ice water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add garlic and salt to a food processor. Pulse until garlic is finely minced and resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in lemon juice. Process until the mixture turns creamy and pale.

  3. 3

    Very slowly drizzle oil in a thin stream while the processor runs. Stop to scrape the bowl if needed.

  4. 4

    If the mixture looks too thick or breaks, add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time while processing.

  5. 5

    Process until the toum is fluffy, white, and holds stiff peaks. Transfer to a serving bowl.
