Toum

Garlic sauce common in the Levant

Salsat toum, also known as toumya or simply toum, is a garlic sauce common to the Levant. It is similar to the Provençal aioli, but the proportion of garlic is much higher. There are many variations, a common one containing garlic, salt, olive oil or vegetable oil, and lemon juice, traditionally crushed together using a wooden mortar and pestle. There is also a popular variation in Lebanon where mint is added; it is called zeit wa toum.
