Toum

Toum is a garlic sauce as prepared in Lebanon, the Levant and Egypt similar to the European aioli. As well as garlic, it contains salt, olive oil or vegetable oil and lemon juice crushed using a wooden mortar and pestle. There is also a variation popular in many villages (such as Zgharta) where mint is added, called "Zeit and Toom". It is also used as a dip, especially with French fries and chicken. It is used in Lebanese sandwiches.
