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!

[@markdasaolu-wilhelm5761]

Fantastic! Made this last night, but used a food processor.... Love the tip to add the oil and lemon juz a tablespoon at a time! We used to buy Toum from the Lebanese restaurants, now we have as much as we want! The first little pot has just been finished, fortunately another 3 are still left.... Many thanks for simplifying this amazing recipe..... ❤

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thanks, Mark! I personally live off it. It is so good for our immune system! P.S. After so many requests for a milder version, I made another video if you are interested in watching. This one has taste testers as well 😆 🤣 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ani3k4SKaqtga9E

[@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.

[@marketmayhem6187]

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.

[@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

[@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]

[@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_]

Does it need to refrigerated

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Yes, and it will keep for more than 2 weeks!

[@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.

[@lindazaharakis1076]

Can you cook with this garlic sauce

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Hey Linda, Yes, we do it and it give a nice even taste if that is what you are looking for. P.S. and if you have a fail attempt of making the garlic sauce for what ever reason, you can use it for cooking which I have done a couple of times.

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@AliCousins-uu8xm]

Does it freeze

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

A good friend of mine says it does, but I haven't tried it yet! I love eating it too much! It is so healthy for me and one of the very few raw fruits or vegetables I can eat without getting ill! P.S. Due to popular requests, I am making another Garlic Sauce video soon but milder. So I will experiment with freezing some and report the findings on the video, all going well! Thanks Ali

[@karlgeraldpuzon9391]

i saw some videos use egg whites. what's its purpose?

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

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!!! P.P.S. the longer you leave the garlic sauce the less intense it tastes.
