Keto Toum
When on a low-carb diet, Keto sauces are a great way to add flavor to your meals. There are many low-carb sauces recipes loaded with garlic, but this Keto toum recipe is by far our favorite. It is garlicky and creamy and can be used in so many ways: as a sauce, a dip, or even in soups and stews. It requires just four staple ingredients and 30 minutes of your time. The best thing about it is that you can make a big batch and use it for up to a month.
How to Make It
Step 1
Peel the garlic. If the garlic has some green sprouts, remove them to prevent the toum from becoming bitter.
Step 2
To a blender, add the peeled garlic and salt. Blend to get a smooth garlic paste. Scrape the blender occasionally and continue blending.
Step 3
Once the garlic paste is very smooth, start adding the oil one tablespoon at a time while blending at the same time. Allow a couple of minutes between each tablespoon to incorporate into the mixture thoroughly.
Step 4
After the first couple tablespoons of oil, begin alternating between oil and lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, while the blender is still running. To get a perfectly emulsified and thick toum, it should take around 10-15 minutes of blending while alternating the oil and lemon juice.
Step 5
Once all the oil and lemon juice is finished, the toum should have a thick and creamy consistency similar to that of mayonnaise. At this point, the toum is ready to eat. Store any leftover toum in an air-tight container in the fridge to enjoy whenever you are ready.
