A traditional Lebanese garlic spread light and fluffy, packed with a savory citrus blast of flavor. This recipe is our first collaborative recipe with Garlic Breath Farm in Elburn, IL. using their organic Porcelain Music Garlic. Pair our Toum with any of our sweet heat craft sauces, Gindo's Honey Habanero. You can use Toum as a spread for sandwiches, fish, steak and chicken. The flavor is intense and has become my new obsession. Enjoy!

Begin adding alternating small amounts of lemon juice and oil, pulsing the garlic after each addition.
Once all ingredients have been added, pulse one more time and Toum should be at desired consistency. Enjoy!
