How to Make Thoom Arabic Garlic Sauce

  1. Peel and mince 1 whole head of garlic (approximately 1 cup minced). If you're sensitive to garlic, start with ½ cup.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the minced garlic, 1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more oil, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency. For a stiffer sauce, blend for a longer period.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for brightness, salt for savoriness, or pepper for a little heat.
  5. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
  6. Serve with your favorite Middle Eastern dishes, such as broasted chicken, shawarma, or falafel.
