  • Fluffy Lebanese garlic sauce and Middle Eastern spicy chilli sauce - Two legendary condiments for shawarma, grills and sandwiches
    These two sauces are the cornerstone of sandwiches and grilled foods in the Middle East. The first is a fluffy Lebanese garlic sauce called Toum that is perfect for dipping, and the second is a spicy chilli sauce filled with loads of fresh chillies. I guarantee that if you make these, they'll be on permanent rotation in your kitchen.

    Garlic sauce Ingredients:
    150g (5.3 Oz) Garlic
    135g (about 1/2 cup) Lemon juice
    600g (21 oz) Neutral Vegetable Oil - Sunflower preferred
    1 Tsp Salt
    Garlic sauce directions:
    1. Peel your garlic and slice your cloves in half, remove the garlic germ from the center of each clove, you should have 150g after degerming your garlic
    2. Juice about 2 lemons and strain the juice to remove all pulp and seeds
    3. Place your garlic and salt in your food processor and process until finely minced. This should take about 2 minutes, remember to scrape the sides of the food processor bowl every 15 seconds.
    4. When finely minced add a teaspoon of lemon juice and process again for a minute, scraping the bowl every 15 seconds
    5. Add one more teaspoon of lemon and process until a fluffy and fine paste forms
    6. When the garlic has fluffed up, start your food processor, and slowly drizzle in 1/2 a cup of the oil. You should drizzle it in a flow as thin as a thread, and do not stop the machine until the recipe is completed. As you drizzle the oil the garlic will emulsify into a sauce, you should take about 2 minutes with the first half cup. If your machine has a emulsification resevoir, use it to slowly trickle the oil in. Do not proceed with the recipe until the first half cup has emulsified and thickened
    7. Once the first half cup has emulsified you should slowly drizzle in a tablespoon of lemon juice
    8. Alternate drizzling in 1/2 a cup of oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until both have finished
    9. Once completed, place the sauce in a container and cover with a paper towel. Let it rest overnight before serving
    Chilli sauce ingredients:
    100g (3.5 oz) Habaneros
    200g (7 oz) Cayenne Peppers
    300g (10.5 oz) Fresh Paprikas
    3-4 Cloves of garlic
    1 Brown Onion
    3 Tbsp Olive oil
    3 Tbsp Lemon juice
    1 Tbsp White vinegar
    1 Tbsp Sugar
    1-2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper (optional and should only be used if your sauce isn't spicy enough)
    2 Tsp Garlic powder
    1 Tsp Fresh ginger
    1 Tsp Ground cumin
    1 Tsp Ground coriander
    1 Tsp Salt
    1/4 Tsp Smoked Paprika
    Chilli sauce directions:
    1. Slice the top off of each chilli and remove the pith and seeds
    2. Peel your ginger and slice into thin pieces
    3. Peel your onion and slice into quarters
    4. Place the peppers, onion, ginger and garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle on 1 Tbsp of olive oil as well as 1 Tsp of salt
    5. Bake in a 180c or 350f oven for 20-30 minutes until the chillies are cooked and slightly browned. Remove and let cool before moving forward
    6. Place all the baked ingredients into a food processor and process into a fine paste
    7. Add the remaining ingredients apart from the lemon juice and cayenne pepper, then blend until well mixed and a thick chilli sauce has formed
    8. Taste the sauce and see if it's spicy enough, if not, add the cayenne pepper and blend once more
    9. Add the lemon juice and mix in
    10. Place the chilli sauce in a container and refrigerate overnight, the flavors will develop over the next 24 hours
    Tips and tricks:
    • You can make your own DIY emulsification reservoir by making a hole in the bottom of a plastic cup
    • Chilling your oil in the fridge for a couple of hours will help the emulsification setup easier
    • If your garlic sauce splits or does not emulsify, you can fix it with an egg white. Check out this video for instructions: bit.ly/3jvKU2F
    Fresh garlic will taste nicer than regular store bought garlic, but it's harder to emulsify as it has less emulsifiers in it.

    I once tried to make toum using a far worse set of instructions. In my nightmares, I can still hear the sad, wet slaps of the blade, helplessly tossing about my heterogenous garlic swamp, projecting the sound of my failure across the kitchen. Through this video, you have inspired me to confront my deepest kitchen fear and attempt toum again. I am not a religious man, but god bless you.

      😂😂 What's not shown here is the 3 experiments that failed in a row. I went back and bought so much garlic from the store, the cashier asked if I was ok. If you look at my face on the first taste test, you can see a look of disgust at the end. That's my PTSD from the failed batches kicking in.
      There's even more tips I had such as using cold oil and lemon juice, that couldn't make the cut of the video. Hopefully this time you're able to get it to work! Happy to give you more tips if needed.

      put lemon,oil(2cm above garlic),salt,n garlic (crushed) in a narrow container(a bit wider than the hand blender). get a hand blender n just blend by lifting the blender a tiny bit up n down every 7 8secs, n youll get a fluffy toum in a matter of seconds... . i use olive oil but itl result in a yellowish sauce n a bit strong.... im a lebanese btw... u can try the exact procdure to make mayo n ull b amazed how fluffy n fast the result is...enjoy

  • @DavidRomaine-bu8vu

    A couple tips:
    1. If you heat the garlic in the microwave for 30 seconds it will remove any heat & bitterness, bringing out the sugars. I do this for my pallette sensitive daughters. Saves you time.
    2. Ginger can be peeled with a small spoon. I learned this from a Chinese grandma who was shocked at how much ginger I was wasting... 😂

    As a lebaneese and one who has done this garlic recepie a thousand times i can assert without a doubt its success. Ur amazing explaining every step of it! Thank you. I usually skip removing the germ and it works perfectly too.
    Another easier and quicker variation for the garlic sauce is - if you wish not to add that much oil- :
    for about 5 gloves or garlic, finely grounded with salt, you add one table spoon of lemon juice and one table spoon of oil (no need to do it slowly here) after u mix well u add LABNE (its plain strained yogurt) the more labne you add the less strong ur sauce will be, so add to your taste. (if you dont have labne you could add mayonnaise....some like it even better that way)
    Sa7tein! Bon appétit

      Well, I'm actually a software engineer, so a lot of my job is teaching. I think when you're trying a new food or cuisine, there's so many uncertainties or techniques you might not be aware of, so it's good to explain in depth with as many visual cues as possible. That way people are less anxious to make the dishes and they are certain to get it right. Thanks for watching!

    This video lifted my spirits and made me realize the mistakes I made in the past. Without any hesitation I attempted to make this yesterday and to my surprise, it came out really well. Thanks to the hacks! That feeling of achievement is something! I actually stood staring at toum giggling in my bowl for a while😍.

      Hey Sijith, AMAZING. I too struggled with this for a while, but it all came down to a few simple mistakes that make all the difference. One tip I wanted to include but ran out of time for, is to put the oil in the fridge. Cold oil can emulsify better, especially in hot days. Glad it all worked out and I 100% understand your pride at it. Hope you make many more batches of Toum in the future! Thank you

    I have made countless batches of failed garlic soup. I was defeated and unwilling to spend another dime on this venture and just buy it from a local market. But I couldn't remain defeated! I found this video and the instructions were EXCELLENT! Every other video glanced over important things like timing, the importance of pureeing the garlic at the beginning and what things should look like. I was tired of three minute videos describing a ten minute process. I poured a gin (not part of the instructions), put on some calming music in an effort to set a stress free environment, and followed these instructions to a tee. It worked! It worked so well I had to try it again immediately! And guess what? It worked AGAIN! My dear Pakistani friend is absolutely thrilled now that we have successfully made this sauce as I saw him die a little inside every time my previous attempts resulted in an oily garlic soup. He then suggested I try making the chili sauce. I think I'll wait and float on my cloud of toum success for a while first. Thank you for the great video and I will certainly be following for more.

      I don’t know what the argument is about but you are right near a good point. The term Arabia depending on the time period changed. For a long time syria (which besides turkey and parts of iran and Armenia) are the northern most west Asian country. That’s why it is stupid when people get called Arabians because it is neither a race nor a consistent region. The area has always been in constant contact with the levant since phonecia/Canaan was a thing and has been in contact with North Africa since the days of the Egyptian dynasty.

    Wash your hands in vegetable oil then washing up liquid this will stop the chilli burn. This really does work

    • @NorthS1deSold1er
      @NorthS1deSold1er 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea, had to do that once. Problem is you need to wash with hot water to open your pores to get the chili oils out, but your hands feel like molten lava when you do. Don't get to this point and just use nitrile gloves.
