Toum: The Creamy White Dip for Shawarma

Toum is a creamy white dip that comes from Lebanese mountain cooking.

It's made from garlic, which has been grown and used in the Levant region for a long time.

Originally, it was a way to use up extra garlic, but now it's a popular dip that goes well with shawarma and other foods.

Traditionally, it was made with a mortar and pestle, but today, people often use food processors.

Even though the way it's made has changed, the simple and rustic flavors of toum are still loved by many.
