Toum
Recipe by Diana Chan
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
½ cup garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
½ tablespoon salt
1 ½ cups Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
Coles paprika, for garnish
Method
Place the garlic cloves and salt into a food processor and process for one minute until the garlic becomes finely minced.
With the food processor running, drizzle in two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, then stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue adding another tablespoon or two until the garlic starts looking creamy.
Once the garlic is emulsified, add in more oil in a steady stream, alternating with the lemon juice. Keep going until all the oil and lemon juice is incorporated. The toum will become creamy and smooth, with a consistency like mayonnaise.
Serve the toum in a dish and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
