This is, by far, the best toum recipe and demonstration on UA-cam for me. The instruction was concise and, yes, fun. It also has a remedy portion if your toum is not properly emulsified (a problem most novice makers encounter). And lastly, the video quality is superb. Thank you!
Here's an even easier way to fix an improper emulsion with your Toum: just add a squirt of processed mayo and turn the food processor back on. It will re-emulsify in seconds!
@@husseinbroquit lying, you either are not Lebanese or know nothing about cooking, because 99% of Lebanese restaurants and homes, don't make it like this, it is simply too much oil which makes it have high calories and makes it a spice sauce, basically garlic. instead of a condiment, so it cant be dipped or spread unless you want a mouth full of garlic and 1000 calories in sauce alone. Mayo, yoghurt is a popular addition, and starch+ water cooked paste is the main thickener and filler. also no one puts that much garlic, for 1 kg of toum maybe 7-8 cloves max.
Garlic is an ancient aphrodisiac, and it's so easy to add garlic to EVERYTHING once you have a container of Toum in the fridge. It's sheltering time, so hopefully your flat mates eat what you cook. Eggs, salsa, steamed veggies, cream fraisch, mustards, panini, it just keeps going on... After about 2 weeks, I had 1-2 tbsp left and it was ready to be rinsed out. 10 minutes later and voila! Another fresh batch. Thank you!!
I first discovered the wonders of toum at a middle eastern deli in Arizona that I had been going to since I was a little kid. They topped the chicken shawarma with it, and their chicken shawarma pita wrap remains my favorite food to this day. This toum recipe produced an identical sauce to that deli. It tastes like pure happiness.
The lady that I first heard about from on ig, literally just weeks ago. She said that she believes this is what “they” mean when they say awesome sauce! Toum is AWESOME SAUCE! I gave it a go last night, it was an epic fail. It’s ok I’m not throwing it out!
I have about a 50% success rate to get my toum to turn out light and fluffy. The rest of the time I end up with a liquified base for salad dressing. THANK YOU for showing the way to fix a broken emulsification! I just tried it and the egg white worked wonders! Yay! 😊
Just made this. Delicious! I tried once before but it was so bitter that I tossed it. I think to remove the garlic inner stem or whatever made a HUGE difference. Thanks again.
Uuuugh. If you blend something until you get a creamy paste like this and emulsify the whole thing, you firstly don't need a pestle and mortar and secondly need to blend it afterwards for a homogenous emulsion. I know, looking like a smart ass is something inherently tempting for you, but do it somewhere else. Why is it always the dumbest, that try the hardest to look smart by telling others they are dumb?
@@asiburger You're not on the internet long enough to get the reference, aren't you? Yes, you now look like a smart-ass because you didn't even catch the "wrong channel". It was an inside joke from Bon Appétit.
Thank you! This is like gold!!! Now I won't have to settle for a measly 2 ounce container of it. Who ever thought that would be enough anyway?? I wanted a whole pint of it but I didn't want to pay too much for it. This is perfect, thanks!
There is a Lebanese restaurant that I've been a fan of for 25-30 years that serves amazing toum. I moved away about 15 years ago. Whenever I can visit, I buy up a couple of pints of their toum. So I can only get this stuff maybe a few times a year. But this recipe absolutely nailed it. I can't tell any difference between this and the restaurant version. Amazing recipe! Thank you!
I finally had, what I didn't until now know was called toum, "garlic sauce" 2 months ago AND FELL IN LOVE OMG I'm addicted to this stuff on grilled chicken and lamb kabobs and hamburgers and on and on. I'm so happy I know what it's correctly called and I will start making it instead of stealing it from my local shop ha!
Aren't corn flakes technically nachos if not sweetened? It'd totally fit, provided that the right strategy is used. Put corn flakes and toum in a soft taco? Blend some sour cream in toum first? Mmmm I feel creative...or hungry...or both.
Fun fact!: Toum is the word for "garlic" in arabic. Just like Hummus is the word for "chick peas" in arabic. These sauces/spreads are simply called the same thing as the main ingredience. (Although hummus is also called msabbaha, which does not mean chick peas).
By far the best Toum I've made at home! I've never had a problem getting it nice and fluffy, but the garlic was just so over powering. This is the first time I've removed the Garlic germ, and it's much mellower now. I could eat a bowl of it on it's own!
2:30 - Wait.... that's what the little hole is for? Mine has that. I assumed it was just so when you insert it into the sealed food processor, the air has somewhere to go. This is great to know!
Toum with freshly made pita bread is the best meal in the world. It’s even better with grilled vegetables and chicken shawarma. I used to go to a Lebanese cafe run by a Lebanese couple. They made fresh pita on their charcoal grill and served it with plenty of Toum. If you were a regular they’d load you down with a bag of pita and a big tub of Toum to take home after your meal. I could live on pita and toum, but I would probably be difficult to live with.
She's right! I used grocery store garlic. I took the green middle out. The toum is really good, but really sharp. Next time I'll taste the garlic first.
Omg Sohla this looks soooo good! Do you have a recipe for green shatta? I live in Dubai, and some restaurants here serve it - it seems like it’s just chopped green chillis, and some kind of sour element (lemon, vinegar maybe?) - but it’s soooo yum and I always want to make it at home whenever I have some at a restaurant.
I have tried to make this about 5 times now and its failed every single time. It ends up in very runny soup, I can never get it to whip up. I suspect my food processor (magi mix 5200xl) isn't chopping the garlic fine enough to release the emulsifier from the garlic at the beginning. Can I crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle first and then transfer to a food processor?
I really liked the resurrection part. Do you chill your oil before starting to offset the heat from processing? I have made toum a few times and have made a watery paste once. Thank you for the tips.
Great video. I'm from Detroit and have made this sauce many times. Why? The 2oz containers....just not enough. Anyway, I have ruined then threw away batches....next time, I'm going to try your saving the sauce w an egg white! Thanks.
Okay so im pretty confused because i am spanish, and in Spain (specifically in the mediterranean coast region) we have Alioli, which litterally means "garlic and oil", and i am pretty sure it is the exact same sauce as the one obtained in the video. Does that mean that both cultures developed the exact same recipe independently? Or was it brought from one of those cultures to the other? Maybe during the muslim occupation in Spain? I find these kind of cultural interchanges fascinating and I would love to know if anyone knows anything about it
My food processor doesn't have a 'drizzle hole' in the pusher and I do NOT have a steady hand. Would straight up drilling a hole in the pusher work? Thoughts, anyone?
I seem to always fail at making this. I'm not sure whether it's too much lemon juice or the garlic is just not fresh enough. My paste does not want to emulsified.
This is a huge amount of garlic, in Resturants they mix this with a starch mixture, some people mix an egg into it.. But I have never seen anyone mixing just garlic und oil and I am Jordanian..
Please make this one for me 😭 seems pretty hard. Because idk how to balance when need to put oil or lemon 😭 I always ask toum too much when im at arabic restaurant 🤭🤭🤭 and they always served me with whole plate with toum and i feel blessed ❤️😇
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY TOUM!! I totally broke it and was lost on how to fix it. 1 egg white did the trick. Do you think the eggwhite makes the toum's shelf stability in a fridge less than with out it?

I'm in Arizona and I love toum!
I wanted a big pint of it but it too expensive.

As soon as I saw Sohla, I was smiling ear to ear
i was just searching for a toum recipe and I'm so glad to have seen a familiar face AHAHAH
If you don't crush the garlic, you don't release the allicin properly. It's like a two part epoxy!
...wrong channel?
Thanks Brad!

I've must have seen atleast 35-40 videos, and I can honestly say this was the most helpful yet entertaining video!
Thanks, hope it turns out well! 🙂
Lady you are a life saver ! I followed 2 other recipes and they didnt work out for me. I saved my broken toum with the egg white trick. Subscribed 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot for the egg white hack. I used raw "farm" vegetable oil which turned to be quite heavy for emulsification and the trick saved my sauce.
I just made this and I’m only 53 weeks old, thank you for easy to follow directions…. Even a baby can DIY l do it
xdddddddddddd buhahahahaa
Knew I was in good hands when I saw Sohla
I was about to skip until I saw Sohla!
Lol I swear
You did an AWESOME job making toum and you made it funny too! (I appreciate great toum and corny humor, even five years later lbvs) Thanks 🤗😄🙏🏾❤️
OMG thank you for the egg trick! I worked too fast and broke my emulsion, this saved a lot of ingredients and time from being thrown in the bin.
"...that goes with everything." - I'm going to try it on my cornflakes...
kindly let me know how that went :)
Who wants to try this with chocolate chip cookies?
Branden Grant I’m going to use this like icing for a cake
so, how was it?
Aren't corn flakes technically nachos if not sweetened? It'd totally fit, provided that the right strategy is used. Put corn flakes and toum in a soft taco? Blend some sour cream in toum first? Mmmm I feel creative...or hungry...or both.
Bless you I searched everywhere for a way to fix broken toum this works 👍
Thanks for telling what to do when one breaks the emulsion.. Thank you so much
Do you know that Toum means garlic in Arabic ?
ثوم
It might be funny for all of us however, In Arabic pronunciation it makes big difference Toum or Thoum. There is no word on Arabic Toum
@Hellani Basha I have never ever made them. They might if it looked little runny. I do not know if you would taste the cornstarch put of it.
In literature Arabic, which is the official and correct Arabic, it is Thoum. In most dialects (the slang), including Lebanese, it is Toum.
@Georges Cika it’s thoum in literature and “standardized?” Arabic but slang and local dialects just use Toum
@@hourykhachigian96 when u speak lebanese arabic u dont say thoum u say toum thoum is the international arabic

Hi, i made the recipe it is great. I just want to know how can you make it thicker with altering the ratios.
This was THE BOMB! A fix for broken toum, who can complain.
Toum is good on everything! How long does it last in the fridge after it is made?
She's right! I used grocery store garlic. I took the green middle out. The toum is really good, but really sharp. Next time I'll taste the garlic first.

blend
¼ cup parsley
¼ cup cilantro
¼ cup walnuts
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
8 ounces jalapeños

@@schristofersen thank you
*I am a Filipino and I love to eat toum along with broasted chicken hehe*
I am so pleased with this video, thank you so much, I have tried for years to get this right always ending up with a watery mess. Thank you!
I was looking for this recipe and I was surprised to watch Sohla , such a joy
I have tried to make this about 5 times now and its failed every single time. It ends up in very runny soup, I can never get it to whip up. I suspect my food processor (magi mix 5200xl) isn't chopping the garlic fine enough to release the emulsifier from the garlic at the beginning. Can I crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle first and then transfer to a food processor?
In my opinion you should try that. A mortar and pestle gives a very fine paste
If you can find a Japanese ginger grater (like a spiked saucer thing), it'll make easier work of turning garlic into mush.
How long this dish can last. How long the expiry.
Will it be good with olive oil? I also have peanut oil if not.
Can toum be refrigerated? Mines seems to always break down when I put it in the fridge
If I add egg whites, do I need to cook the toum before eating?
No girlfriend on Sweetest Day? Celebrate with extra Toum and fresh baked pita still hot from the oven. Who's the loser now?
Me
have eaten in a "Koshery" in Egypt? I am looking for the liquid garlic recipe.
I really liked the resurrection part. Do you chill your oil before starting to offset the heat from processing? I have made toum a few times and have made a watery paste once. Thank you for the tips.
Oh yeah! When I made good toum the kids love it on grilled cheese sandwiches.
Yes it is better to chill the oil and even adding crushed ice.
Can you do it with an immersion blender in a mason jar?
Great video. I'm from Detroit and have made this sauce many times. Why? The 2oz containers....just not enough. Anyway, I have ruined then threw away batches....next time, I'm going to try your saving the sauce w an egg white! Thanks.

less salt in the toum.
Maybe something to do with Spain's Moorish history?
I made mine in a blender. Came out great!
I'm so happy you showed us how to fix it ☺️💕 you saved my toum thanks 😊
what’s the shelf life of garlic once it has egg white in it ?
Hi Did you add water & egg white during the blending of ingredients?
I adore this.. Thank you for your special teaching style.. it rocks!
They serve it at a Lebanese place I love. Thought it was aioli. What is the difference?
When do you start adding the water?
Wow. I had Lebanese plate with toum today. Very interesting 😀 Very good food
You did good job
I was looking another video lady she was going to much details
but i like your way bravo ...I love tum sauce
can I use sea salt instead of kosher I didn´t find kosher
Is this possible without foodprosessor?
Love the whole presentation, nice work!
What is the shelf life if out of fridge?
The second Sohla appeared I knew this recipe will be perfectly executed!!!
What kind of oil are you using for this ?
How many days we can keep this?
Can this be done with cooked garlic?
Does this store well?
What would be the difference between toum and ali-oli?
What kind of oil did you use?
what kind of oil do you use (best) for this recipe? grape seed or canola?
any of those only : corn oil, sunflower oil, or canola . never never olive oil or any other
Was the blender on high or low when you started pouring in the oil?
low
I love it, great and easy recipe...you are awesome...
I would have like to have seen the mortar and pestle version.
My food processor doesn't have a 'drizzle hole' in the pusher and I do NOT have a steady hand. Would straight up drilling a hole in the pusher work? Thoughts, anyone?
...I could also just keep all of my oil in a bottle that has a fine drizzling nozzle. Solutions are sometimes easier than they seem!
But if you have to fix the emulsifying, is it safe with raw egg white?
Heckin perfection, all other videos I tried sucked up until now.
Can we use olive oil?
Measurements please
I just subscribed because you are so awesome! Made me laugh out loud! Thank you 😃
How long will this last in the refrigerator?
Troy Howard in my experience up to a month.
Wat about freezer
I love the fact that she even shows the mistakes that can happen ❤👍🏻
Can I use olive oil?
Have that same food processor. Mind blown by the magic oil drizzle chute trick. Would have never known.
Which oil was it?
$50/L MCT coconut oil.
I live on this stuff, can't get enough of it.
What kind of oil will be use?
what oil do you use?
I seem to always fail at making this. I'm not sure whether it's too much lemon juice or the garlic is just not fresh enough. My paste does not want to emulsified.
Perhaps it is the blender you are using?
This is a huge amount of garlic, in Resturants they mix this with a starch mixture, some people mix an egg into it.. But I have never seen anyone mixing just garlic und oil and I am Jordanian..

Hai, i was just womdering. You didn't put egg white in it . Am i correct ?
Please make this one for me 😭 seems pretty hard. Because idk how to balance when need to put oil or lemon 😭
I always ask toum too much when im at arabic restaurant 🤭🤭🤭 and they always served me with whole plate with toum and i feel blessed ❤️😇
What is the brand of food processor you used?
What kind of oil ?
Could you make Toum with black garlic?
what kind of oil
You saved my garlic sauce... looking forward to trying your other recipes too :)
Great sense of humor...
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY TOUM!! I totally broke it and was lost on how to fix it. 1 egg white did the trick. Do you think the eggwhite makes the toum's shelf stability in a fridge less than with out it?
Does it change the taste of toum with egg white
TOUMany dad jokes. Broke my emulsion.
How does garlic and oil and lemon juice emulsify without any eggs tho?
it is a creator wonder :)
Thank you so much 💓 💗I always make it but sometimes it splits like today.,and thanks to you I just saved it
What is the brand of your food processor?
