How to make the Best Garlic Sauce (Toum) Using a simple Recipe Quick & Easy

[@EllOhh]

Love this video! It turned out amazing ~ Thank you so much for your help Moussa 😄

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

You welcome, thanks for the feedback Lorraine!

[@michaelmendieta5061]

Thanks Moussa. I’m definitely going to make this! How do we get the EJ pickles?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Lol, I will ask Nuggets, he knows everything about Eljannah Chicken! Thanks Michael

[@chickennugget6985]

I love nuggets…

[@garrybrown2138]

Looking forward to trying. I need to reduce my salt intake, shop sauces are very high in salt, home made garlic sauce could be the answer. Thanks for the video

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

And health! Garlic helps our natural immunity. Thanks Garry

[@chickennugget6985]

EJ garlic.. or Moussa’s…. *I’ll definitely take Moussa’s*

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Lol, done!!! Thanks Nuggets

[@randmayfield5695]

This is an exceptional tutorial. Very detailed with explanations on little but important aspects of the process which helped be know what to look for as I went along. Thank you! If you use a plastic squeeze bottle it helps moderate the addition of oil in increments either less than a tablespoon or more. I use them for lots of things and pay around 1 dollar US for them.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thank you very much for going to the trouble letting me know, I will look it up.

[@johnfaris5840]

i CERTIFY , This is the only original recipe, any other recipe is not the orignail taste..

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

You are a champion John! I appreciate your endorsement! I make it around every 2 weeks, we love it!

My Agapi makes a mean garlic sauce!

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thanks Agapy!

[@renatopenna9464]

Well demonstrated. I didn't realise that the lemon stops the oil from becoming too runny and makes it fluffy and white.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

I have also tried the garlic sauce using olive oil but it does taste as good and the consistency is different! Thanks Ron

Thank you for this video explaining to slowly add oil/lemon made a huge difference thank you! Also Thoughts on pungent taste, saw a chef say remove the stem inside garlic, thoughts? will try that next time. But Thank you again!

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

You are welcome! Taking the stem out may help marginally from my experience, but unfortunately, garlic, by its nature, is a friend testers! 😊 However, it is the best medicine for me personally, and we eat it regularly.

[@charlesmanche6052]

Great video! My wife said she definitely needs one of those Braun blenders. I always wondered how garlic sauce got so fluffy....can you use olive oil instead of vegetable oil? Tks Moussa.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Yes you can but for me it doesn't taste as good, not that it has a bearing but it also looks a yellow cream colour. Thanks Charles

[@carenvillarsvlog1615]

​@@quantumhomeimprovementshello. Can I use sunflower oil instead oh vegetable oil

Hi Caren, I personally haven't tried sunflower oil but I do believe it will.

What a lovely sauce Moussa. I will try it one time. I was wondering what the origins of your first name was; now I know!

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thanks David, garlic is good to build our immune system, which I need due to food issues that I have had since I was a baby after surviving severe cholera back in Lebanon. I don't know the extent of your immune issue, but this may help you, too. 🙏 P.S. It's a long story, but I was made in Australia! 😆 🤣 😂

[@linnmansson5391]

Does it work with a handblender? And also, i see many people have egg whites in their toum. What is the different?:) Thanks for a good video

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

I don't think it would, but you can use the traditional method using a mortar and pestle! It's a lot harder and takes longer, but it definitely works if you go really slow.

[@dallasbarnard4230]

Yum yum ,I'm making it now Thanks Moussa great to learn some new recipe's for garlic

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Lol, thanks Dallas! Garlic sauce goes great with chicken or any kind of meat!

[@jps8678]

This looks same as I do when I add garlic to mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise. I would like to taste this and see if there is big difference. Thank you for video

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Please let me know how you go! But be warned, it is extremely strong on the first couple of day!

[@marianseecy4527]

I always love your garlic sauce

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

❤ Thanks Marian!

[@carolwilliams1859]

I must have added too much garlic. I used lemon juice instead of real lemon. It taste to garlic.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

It really does depend on the type of garlic but it's good that it worked out in texture I am assuming Carol. Now, leave it in the fridge for a few days then taste it. You will see that it will loose its intensity and should taste nice.

[@RetrnRetrn]

The best instructional video,thank you

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thank you for your kind words. Due to high requests, this Friday at 3pm Sydney time, I am releasing a milder version of garlic sauce video with taste testers, which was so funny to make with them! Cheers

[@glw5166]

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I wish I had seen your video before I attempted to make this as mine turned into a runny mess. Now I have a better understanding of the timing and how to add the oil and lemon. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe again and getting it right this time. Thanks again!

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thanks for the message GLM! In more recent times when I found the garlic to be dry or poor quality which happened the other day and the garlic became runny, I just prepared anther half cup of garlic. Then instead of using oil I just slowly introduced the runny garlic sauce into the blender. I put in only a little at a time as I would do normally with oil and it worked nicely. Furthermore, if it wasn't going to work I was happy to just use the runny garlic in our cooking which tastes great as well. I hope this helps further!

[@glw5166]

@@quantumhomeimprovements Great tip! Hopefully I won't have another runny sauce but I will definitely try your fix if I do. Thanks again!

[@scampbell9848]

Has anyone tried this with olive oil? What's a healthy oil to use for this other than any vegetable?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

I have tried olive which turned out fine but the taste was not for me, however a friend of mine only makes it with olive oil. In regards to other oils, I have tried different types which all worked for me but I don't really know which is better. Unfortunately, a lot of companies make claims that could be incorrect. If you come across one that has proven hard fact I would love to know! Thanks

[@markrusev1461]

Delicious! Great video Moussa!

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Excellent, thanks Mark! I hope things are going well at Council!

[@yymm-iz4mf]

Why is my galic sauce seprate to oil after half day in room temprature?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Good question? I always put my sauce straight into the fridge after it's made. However, after two weeks, my sauce can separate even in the fridge, but that can happen when I put too much oil! Can I ask you to try putting the next batch in the fridge and see if it happens again.

[@nickgarciacrawford]

Whenever I've tried doing it I just couldn't eat it because the garlic was too strong/bitter but whenever I eat it at restaurants it never tastes too strong. Why is this?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Hey Nick, see my other message!

[@elienehme_]

Is the blender on high or low when you start blending?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Hey Elie, Our Braun blender setting ranges from 1 to 21 and we usually have it set on 10 but we will be replacing it in the near future. However, regardless of the type of blender you have it's important not to over blend the garlic especially in the early stage of making the sauce or it may fail. So if you only have two settings then try it first on the low.

[@elienehme_]

@@quantumhomeimprovements That’s good to know! Thank you 🙏

[@dianad1249]

Can you use olive oil

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Good question! Yes you can. I have only tried it once, and it was as successful. However, the taste & texture for me was not as good and I used a high quality olive oil. If you do try it, expect the colour to be yellowish, which is normal.

[@williecabanilla5912]

This is the garlic sauce i want. Some restaurant serve their garlic sauce like more of mayonaise which is a little disgusting. Dip your fried chicken in this sauce and oh man...

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

You are spot on Willie! They use mayonise, and it's nowhere as good. We eat BBQ, grilled, roasted, and any other type of chick with this garlic sauce! Plus, other types of meats. Just yesterday, I tried it with pork, which was very nice!

[@Bepo212]

I just realized that its that easy to make Garlic Sauce like way back from Oman. but I have a question when I refrigerated the sauce, does it normally hardens a little bit? then when it melts, the oil splits from the sauce. I don't know if I did something wrong but the consistency when I first made it was perfect.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Hey Von, It shouldn't breakdown at all, if anything it get slightly harder. Could I ask how much lemon and old you put in? And what type of oil?

[@SyedIrfan-om7eg]

The reason of the heat in the thoum explanation 👌👌👌

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thanks Syedlrfan! I got this explanation of a search to help explain why, but generally, the intense heat only lasts a couple of days, which is when I enjoy eating it the most! 😆 "Its strong flavour comes from the activation of the enzyme alliinase, when whole cloves are prepared, and its reaction with alliin, resulting in allicin and the formation of organosulfur compounds. Because garlic potency depends on how much alliinase is released, crushed garlic is more pungent than sliced garlic." www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=foodandnutrition.org/from-the-magazine/garlic-the-spicy-vegetable/%23:~:text%3DIts%2520strong%2520flavor%2520comes%2520from,more%2520pungent%2520than%2520sliced%2520garlic.&ved=2ahUKEwiJg4zawoeAAxU6gFYBHandC2oQFnoECA4QBQ&usg=AOvVaw2xUSSerT1rs7Hsen3j-0UW

Hey Karl, I have never done it with egg white but I can't see why it won't work. Some people like to tone down the intensity of garlic sauce so they use different product to do that and mayonnaise is one popular way. However, Mayonnais is made from egg yolk not egg white but regardless, the egg white must be used for the same purpose. P.S I just mad anther banch and it taste great!!!
