toum
Toum is a potent, creamy, and fluffy Levantine (Middle Eastern) sauce made by emulsifying fresh garlic cloves with neutral oil, lemon juice, and salt. It is similar to an aioli or mayonnaise but relies on the garlic itself as a stabilizer rather than egg yolks. It is known for its intense, pungent garlic flavor and brilliant white color, often used as a spread, dip, or condiment.
