Use the freshest garlic possible for the best flavor. Patience is key when emulsifying the oil. Drizzling it in slowly is essential to prevent the sauce from breaking. Toum can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavor will continue to develop over time. Serve toum with grilled meats, vegetables, pita bread, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches and wraps. It also pairs beautifully with hummus and falafel. For a milder flavor, you can blanch the garlic cloves in boiling water for a minute before mincing.
