    The exact recipe used in this video are as follows (taken from older comments made by Chef Kamal himself):
    -1 cup garlic
    -4 cups oil (vegetable, canola, or grape oil)
    -1/2 cup lemon juice
    -2 teaspoons salt

      Today I had the unfortunate mishap of adding the oil and lemon juice too fast and I broke the mixture. I managed to recover it by letting the mixture sit in a wide-mouthed container so that the mixture could separate. After letting the mixture sit, there should be a bottom white layer (this has the garlic and is pretty much the toum sauce) and an oil layer on top of that. Pour out the oil into another container and strain the remaining toum layer to get most of the oil out. Place this toum layer back into the food processor and let it blend for one minute. After you have done this, take the oil that you had previously separated and slowly add it back to the toum layer while mixing and you should be able to finish the recipe as normal.

      OMG you're a lifesaver, I've wanted to make Mediterranean for the family on Independence day and the garlic ended up runny and I was on the verge of quiting until I read your comment. I didn't end up with much like his but it filled halve the container and now I have the main side dish thanks to you. I'm eternally grateful

    ⚠️VITAMIX USERS ⚠️. I made this for the first time in my Vitamix and it was just too powerful for this recipe. It splattered out the small hole and up my walls - lol! Even on a lower speed it didn’t blend the garlic well at all. Pulsing the garlic was unbelievably finicky and I clearly couldn’t get the garlic fine enough. Sad to report it separated. At 10 minutes the “sauce” was piping hot from the constant friction. Honestly it was a fail right out of the gate. The good news is I used my Braun CombiMax 600 food processor on my second attempt and it came out beautifully and it was literally effortless (just like this video). Save yourself the headache and use a food processor. I love my Vitamix but I used poor judgment making my first Toum sauce. Ha! Night and day experience with the food processor! Good luck everyone! Awesome and delicious recipe! 🙏Bless you!

    You are welcome. I believe several key factors in consistent garlic paste is starting with really freshly peeled garlic, dry utensils and taking your time while adding the oil as the ingredients emulsify...and using a powerful food processor with a shape blade. I have never added a raw egg white to the garlic. In my home we refrigerate it for up to 2 or 3 weeks- the idea of raw egg in there bothers me...health wise. I have never added potato either...I would try that first. I hope this helps.

    I finally mad this recipe after more than 10 years of seeing this video. Up until I saw your cookbook and this video, this garlic sauce was a sec eat recipe that I wanted to find for years. I use to make a quicker version that involved egg whites, but I knew it wasn’t the same. I finally got a food processor and made it your way and it came out perfect. The key is the slow drizzle. My food processor has a little hole that makes it fool proof. Thank you.

    • @ginahanash4530
      @ginahanash4530 Рік тому

    Hello Chef, I am from India and simply put, I love good food. Am on the wrong side of 50 and don't eat that much, but definitely like new varieties of food from various parts of the world. Your demonstration of Toom was excellent and your commentary very lucid, while churning out what seems to be a great end product. In the meantime, I have decided to visit your site more often after this wonderful clip. Keep up the good work. My best wishes are with you.

  • @ChefKamal1
    @ChefKamal1 14 років тому +3

    Greetings catlovergal,
    As described in my recipe you are right, using room temperature lemon juice and garlic make a world of difference. Also make sure the food processor bowl, blade, lid and all utensils are completely dry before you begin-otherwise the mixture could separate. Finally always select heads of garlic that are firm and fresh. Avoid ones that feel hollow or that have sprouted. I am glad to hear that in the end - things worked out.
    Best regards,
    Kamal

      +Olivia Smith It will work. Just make sure you have fresh ingredients and they are at room temperature. I have made this a couple times after Easter and one time it was very runny but I used cold lemons and they were older. I wanted to use them and not waste them. So I blame it on that. I just added the runny stuff to pureed garbanzo beans and it made a wonderful hummus.Good luck!!!

    Thanks Chef Kamal for this wonderful wonderful recipe. I am an Indian & staying in middle east for the last 6 years. My love affair with Lebanese food started here only, though it is fast catching up in India too & toum is one of my favs. I have with kebabs, pita bread & even mix with spaghetti I prepare with roasted vegetables, mix with mayonnaise to prepare sandwich. A much healthier & tastier option. I prepared it for the first time exactly following your recipe, but used sunflower oil. It tasted exactly the same i have in restaurants. Thanks again. Next I will try hummus following your recipe.

Also, my food processor has a plastic insert where you can add exactly a 1/2 cup of oil, with a pin hole at the bottom (my arms never got tired :). I plan on getting your cookbook and DVD for more great recipes. This is healthy, great food! Thanks again.
