I wish all YT videos were this way. Quick and to the point. Without goofy YT sound effects, long intros and outos, begging for likes and subscriptions, life stories and dramas. Just easy recipes made with on-hand ingredients, and I was going to use a stick blender anyway, but pre-soaking garlic to remove skins easier was a bonus tip. Chef Hermann, covers everything leaving you wanting more next time.

Hermann, I'm Lebanese & enjoy your podcasts. I never subscribe to avoid bells & whistles on my phone. I love garlic & eat it raw with my stews. But permit me to give you a tip on this one: to add less oil in increasing the volume, we add a soft-boiled potato. It is neutral, binds better, & causes no indigestion for anyone who eats a lot of garlic like me.

Great tip, because although toum is my most favourite dip, it does give me heartburn.

I am Romanian and we make the same garlic sauce in the Danubian and Black Sea coast part of the country, using vinegar instead of lemon. It is an ancient sauce that probably came to Romania through Turkish and Greek people who inhabited this area and it is called SARMUZAC. It is traditionally eaten with fish soup (chorba) or any fried fish.

In Catalonia All - i - Oli sometimes we use lemon and sometimes we use vinegar, some people may use sunflower oil or soft flavored olive oil, and grinded black pepper to give a little bit of flavor.

I was chatting with a young guy as we flew across Canada a few years ago. His family had immigrated from Lebanon when he was a kid. FOOD came up in conversation. He asked me if I’d ever heard of Toum, I had not. When I got to my destination I did go on line to find it and what an OMG moment that was! All my garlic loving friends were as amazed as I was and all of us have continued to make it. Fabulous

Well coming from a lebanese I can give you an advice. For protein lovers you can put egg withes to make it more fluffy and balance the flavors of garlic and lemon and it will help with the emulcification process too. And for my vegan friends switch the egg whites with potato starch that you will mix with water and put it on the stove until it has a gelatine like consistancy and boom it does the trick . You will thank me later😉

You just made mayonnaise with garlic in it

that's what in my family we simply call a garlic paste. always using the mortar and pestle since it tastes so much better. then for a garlic sauce we add sour milk, or Bulgarian yogurt. goes amazing with meats and many other foods, similar to tomato

Hi, another way of peeling garlic is to chop the garlic in half, place in a bowl and microwave for 30-40 seconds. I then squeeze the garlic out of the husk. I do get my fingers a bit hot but I don’t mind. As for your recipes, these are brilliant. My background is Middle East origin, dad was Greek Egyptian and mum Cypriot Greek so I know a lot about this food. Keep spreading the recipes please, you’re doing it in a modern and brilliant way 🌷🇬🇧🇨🇾🌷Maria

I just partially smash the clove with the broad part of the knife (pressing the knife with my palm with the sharp edge facing away from myself of course) and it crushes the clove and the paper peels away so easily. You can use a metal spatula to press the garlic if you’re concerned about sharp edges though.

The second technique is how I make mayonnaise. In 20 years I've only had it not come together 3 times...so I turned it into a Caesar salad dressing.OMG!! I love the aqua fava hack!! Sundays are food prep day - salsa, mayo, hummus, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomato confit, any chili oils, fresh cheeses, and yogurt. I always keep my aqua fava (make hummus from dry chickpeas) for soup in the week! Thanks for that hack!

That stuff is amazing. It is so good with fried cauliflower with sumac, shwarma, and fresh warm pita. I think I love pretty much all the Mediterranean dishes I've had. In America, you are only exposed to so many, but for what I have had, it's all soooooooooooooooo amazing and I could live on it forever. Yum!

I tried to make many times but failed but with your recipe measurement I tried with food processor and without using chick pea can water I was able to make and I got successs , I can’t express how happy. I am today! Thanks so much .

TOUM!!!! Fabulous recipe and video, thank you so so much for sharing with us!! So excited about this…gonna make it!

I i used to go to my favourite Lebanese place just to buy extra pots of Toum. Now i dont need to. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, especially the immersion hack!

Thank you 🥰 I've been making Toum sauce according to your immersion blender recipe. It's now a stable sauce in our kitchen. Delicious and quick to make. Love it!

This is one of the best cooking videos for the home kitchen. Straight forward and to the point, also considers common faults.

Absolutely great--brilliant explanation, fun to watch, great hacks--am now a fan!

Really comfortable conversation in your kitchen! Love this format.

SO good! Love the immersion blender hack. Served the Toum with roasted veggies & tofu made from chickpea flour; fantastic. Thank you!

I like the mortar & pestle method because it does the best job of breaking down the garlic into a cream (even w/o oil!). Plus I can just bash the paper off w/o needing to peel them. Oh, and I can make a small amount at a time.

Excellent description and instructions thank you

Yum!! This is going to be something I keep in the fridge at all times. No more store-bought. Thanks for all of these tips and options.

I LOVE this vid. All I have been asking for. Thank u❤

Wow, looks wonderful, can't wait to try it.

Im pretty sure that this is the absolute best condiment I have ever encountered.

in Catalonia we make it without the lemon. We call it [allioli], which comes from [all i oli], which directly translate for [garlic and oil]

That immulsion save is amazing! Thank you!

I LOVE this stuff! Now I know how to make it! Thank you!

Thanks for the tricks! I can’t wait to try some of the tricks I learned here. I only want to add that for food processors , several have a plunger with a hollow core and a small hole, this is to assist with drizzling the oil in situations like this. I hope this helps those like me that can’t drizzle oil for a measuring cup consistently.

Loved the blender version. I can now make a small quantity and finish quickly. I made it today and was very very happy with the outcome. I also make the first version but cannot finish it quickly. This is surely a recipe to bookmark. Thanks a ton.

I've never made an emulsion before, and the immersion blender recipe was super easy to do on the first try. Thanks for this.

This is fantastic! Can't wait to try.

i'm new to this sauce recipes. You described everything very well the other creators missed. I did the hand blender and its amazing

What did you do wrong the first time and what did you do right the second time? I tried to make it twice about an hour ago and I failed. What kind of oil did you use?

Loved the hack at the end to fix a broken emulsion! ❤

as an alternative to the emulsification hack with aquafaba I would suggest a 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of mustard. Shouldnt impact the flavor too much and is usually a staple in most kitchens. This is intended for situations where you dont have a can of chickpeas at the ready or dont want to open one just for the aquafaba.

Toum seems very appealing, with unlimited uses. Big thank you for clear info. I'm a pretty good cook of many years and you've taught me a few things here.

Tried it and it turned out amazing ❤️ thankyou

I used to live in Dubai ages ago and your video brought back memories of Toum- thank you for sharing it and I will be trying to make it home-wishing you all the best!!

Omg. Thanks for helping me not waste my time and money!! I made this off of some internet recipe instructions and their video and it came out watery. They said dont use a emulsifier (i didnt at first) and their suggestion was to use 1-2 boiled potatoes for helping consistency if its watery. I didnt have potatoes on hand. But I saw this video looking for help with my liquified mess. Dumped my liquidy ingredients in a tall cylinder, grabbed a emulsifier and added bits of canned garbanzo juice a little at a time and now its perfect white and fluffy. It Was looking like a separated curdled mess before. Thanks so much!❤😅. Now it taste great 🎉

An Excellent video / Highly Recommended / Thank You Very Much For Sharing /

This seems a perfect base for ranch dressing adding spices and love, this makes my heart sing! This could be good for lemony Alfredo!

🤩thanks for the hack!

Beautiful video. Toum is sooo good.

I searched up "fluffy meditarean sauce" after trying it at a restaurant. After watching the video, I was still skeptical how easy it looked to make. I'm now having it with my lunch! I followed the hack version and had no issues making it, it was so simple! This made my day, thank you!

Thank you for this recipe. ❤

Brilliant hacks! Thank you

I’m not vegan but my girlfriend is, so I always look out for good vegan recipes. You won me over to your channel when you showed a potential fix for if the cheated version breaks and doesn’t emulsify - this kind of forward thinking for the audience is such a clear sign of quality.

I learned about Toum from an Australian. I love the hack which I also use for mayonese.

Oh thank you for this. I have been trying to figure out why my Toum with a hand blender would not work. I usually use extra virgin olive oil. When your recipe said specifically not to use that, I used avocado oil, AND IT WORKED! Thank you for being specific about that.
