This is how you make tum, aka every garlic lover’s dream. You’ll need a bunch of garlic and pro tip for peeling them. Just pour boiling water on top, let it sit for 5 minutes, and the peels will come right off. Add all the garlic along with some salt into a food processor and blitz this up until you have a rough paste. Then gradually go in with some lemon juice, alternating with sunflower oil until it’s all combined and emulsified, and you have a thick, luscious, creamy garlic sauce that looks something like this. Use this to make shawarmas or for dipping.
