Fluffy Lebanese garlic sauce and Middle Eastern spicy chilli sauce - Two legendary condiments
Fluffy Lebanese garlic sauce and Middle Eastern spicy chilli sauce - Two legendary condiments for shawarma, grills and sandwiches
These two sauces are the cornerstone of sandwiches and grilled foods in the Middle East. The first is a fluffy Lebanese garlic sauce called Toum that is perfect for dipping, and the second is a spicy chilli sauce filled with loads of fresh chillies. I guarantee that if you make these, they'll be on permanent rotation in your kitchen.

Garlic sauce Ingredients:
150g (5.3 Oz) Garlic
135g (about 1/2 cup) Lemon juice
600g (21 oz) Neutral Vegetable Oil - Sunflower preferred
1 Tsp Salt
Garlic sauce directions:
1. Peel your garlic and slice your cloves in half, remove the garlic germ from the center of each clove, you should have 150g after degerming your garlic
2. Juice about 2 lemons and strain the juice to remove all pulp and seeds
3. Place your garlic and salt in your food processor and process until finely minced. This should take about 2 minutes, remember to scrape the sides of the food processor bowl every 15 seconds.
4. When finely minced add a teaspoon of lemon juice and process again for a minute, scraping the bowl every 15 seconds
5. Add one more teaspoon of lemon and process until a fluffy and fine paste forms
6. When the garlic has fluffed up, start your food processor, and slowly drizzle in 1/2 a cup of the oil. You should drizzle it in a flow as thin as a thread, and do not stop the machine until the recipe is completed. As you drizzle the oil the garlic will emulsify into a sauce, you should take about 2 minutes with the first half cup. If your machine has a emulsification resevoir, use it to slowly trickle the oil in. Do not proceed with the recipe until the first half cup has emulsified and thickened
7. Once the first half cup has emulsified you should slowly drizzle in a tablespoon of lemon juice
8. Alternate drizzling in 1/2 a cup of oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until both have finished
9. Once completed, place the sauce in a container and cover with a paper towel. Let it rest overnight before serving
Chilli sauce ingredients:
100g (3.5 oz) Habaneros
200g (7 oz) Cayenne Peppers
300g (10.5 oz) Fresh Paprikas
3-4 Cloves of garlic
1 Brown Onion
3 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 Tbsp White vinegar
1 Tbsp Sugar
1-2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper (optional and should only be used if your sauce isn't spicy enough)
2 Tsp Garlic powder
1 Tsp Fresh ginger
1 Tsp Ground cumin
1 Tsp Ground coriander
1 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Smoked Paprika
Chilli sauce directions:
1. Slice the top off of each chilli and remove the pith and seeds
2. Peel your ginger and slice into thin pieces
3. Peel your onion and slice into quarters
4. Place the peppers, onion, ginger and garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle on 1 Tbsp of olive oil as well as 1 Tsp of salt
5. Bake in a 180c or 350f oven for 20-30 minutes until the chillies are cooked and slightly browned. Remove and let cool before moving forward
6. Place all the baked ingredients into a food processor and process into a fine paste
7. Add the remaining ingredients apart from the lemon juice and cayenne pepper, then blend until well mixed and a thick chilli sauce has formed
8. Taste the sauce and see if it's spicy enough, if not, add the cayenne pepper and blend once more
9. Add the lemon juice and mix in
10. Place the chilli sauce in a container and refrigerate overnight, the flavors will develop over the next 24 hours
Tips and tricks:
• You can make your own DIY emulsification reservoir by making a hole in the bottom of a plastic cup
• Chilling your oil in the fridge for a couple of hours will help the emulsification setup easier
• If your garlic sauce splits or does not emulsify, you can fix it with an egg white. Check out this video for instructions:
Fresh garlic will taste nicer than regular store bought garlic, but it's harder to emulsify as it has less emulsifiers in it.
AUTHENTIC TURKISH COOKING TECHNIQUE: “DOLMA” ???? | Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe ????????
Today our topic is the anatomy of dolma. I really think and believe that dolma represents our society. It is collectivistic and there are many parts which make dolma beautiful. Rice, meat, onion, garlic, spices, tomato, herbs, fat, oil… all has a different role and when they come together to become dolma, the sum becomes more than its parts! You've probably seen and made more than one dolma in different ways. However, I would like to explain to you in detail what the Turkish style of dolma is using a simple delicious stuffed bell pepper. Thus, when you want to make another type of dolma, you can use this technique to make your own one with your ingredients.

Turkish Style Stuffed Bell Peppers
Servings: 10
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 55 minutes
20 green bell peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
For the stuffing,
200 g minced meat
1.5 large onion, grated
1 tablespoon salt
4 cloves garlic, pureed
100 ml tomato puree, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
1 tablespoon pepper paste
4 tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
100 ml olive oil, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
12 spring parsley, finely chopped
2 spring fresh mint, finely chopped
250 g rice, 1 +1/4 cups
For the sauce
500 ml hot water, 2 cups
1 tablespoon butter
100 ml tomato puree, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
1 tablespoon tomato paste, increase tomato puree to 200 ml if you don’t have paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pinches of sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
· Remove the stems of the bell peppers by pressing your thumb down gently and take out the extra seeds. Thus, you will have a perfect hole for stuffing.
· Mix the sugar and salt and rub inside of the peppers with the mixture to explode the cells so that flavours of the stuffing mixture will get into the skin of the pepper.
· Cut the sides of the tomatoes and set aside to use them as lids. Grate the rest of the tomatoes for stuffing mixture.
· Soak the rice into water for 15 minutes.
· Combine the minced meat with the onion, salt, garlic and knead it.
· Add the tomato puree, pepper paste, grated tomatoes, olive oil, butter, black pepper, cumin, and allspice.
· Then add the rice, parsley and fresh mint and mix until all the ingredients are combined.
· To make the sauce, mix the hot water, butter, tomato puree, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, sugar, and olive oil in a beaker.
· Add 200 ml sauce to stuffing mixture to make it juicier and tastier.
· With a teaspoon fill each pepper with the stuffing. Make sure that you don’t overfill your peppers. Rice should have enough space to expand while it cooks. Close the peppers with the tomato lids.
· After filling the peppers place them tightly into a large, shallow, and oven-safe pot.
· Pour the tomato sauce on peppers, cover with the lid, and start to cook it on high heat until it boils. Then turn the heat on low and cook for 25 minutes.
· After 25 minutes, take the lid and place the pot into the oven, a little higher than the middle rack. Bake at 200C (392F) on upper and lower heat with fan for 30 minutes until partially browned. Your great Turkish dolma is ready to dig in. I strongly recommend serving with yoghurt.

Three Chinese BBQ Spice Mixes for the Grill
BBQ Spice Mixes! We've been wanting to do a Chinese BBQ 101 video for you guys for a while, but unfortunately our building management hasn't been... cooperative lol. So we figured we could at the very least go over some spice mixes.
0:00 - BBQ culture in China
1:39 - Chili Powder Seasoning
3:10 - Chili Powder & Sand Ginger Seasoning
3:51 - Cumin & Sesame Seed Seasoning
5:16 - Other components of Chinese BBQ?
Note: Sometimes at BBQ joints they'll separate the spice mix with a salt/MSG mix. We combined them because if you purchase a pre-made mix here at the store they'll usually include the salt/MSG.
SPICE MIX #1: CHILI POWDER MIX
1 tbsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder (花椒粉)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (姜粉)
1/4 tsp ginger powder (大蒜粉)
1/4 tsp star anise powder (八角粉) - you will likely need to grind your own
(Garlic and ginger powder are relatively rare in Chinese cuisine, but are used in some BBQ spice mixes - and we like it)
To prepare the Star Anise powder: Put ~1/3 of a Star Anise into a grinder and blitz. We just do a whole one and reserve the excess though.
To prepare the cumin: Put 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz til fine.
To toast the chilis: Use ~15g of a red dried chili that's medium heat (e.g. Arbol, Sichuan Erjingtiao, Japones, Guizhou Longhorn, Cayenne, etc etc) - this will likely make extra. Snip into ~1 inch sections. Toast over med-low for ~8 minutes, or until they're 'chestnut-colored'
You can swap the cumin seeds for ground cumin if you like. You can also alternatively use homemade toasted-then-ground Sichuan peppercorn powder, but if using homemade I'd swap down to 1/4 tsp.
SPICE MIX #2: CHILI POWDER AND SAND GINGER MIX
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp sand ginger (沙姜), a.k.a. Shajiang, Kencur, Cutcherry powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/4 tsp five spice powder (五香粉)
SPICE MIX #3: CUMIN AND SESAME MIX
5 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
2.5 tsp toasted sesame seeds (芝麻)
1 tsp fennel seed (小茴香)
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒粉) -or- cayenne pepper is ok
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
To prepare the cumin: Put 5 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz for ~10-20 seconds til half ground.
To prepare the sesame seeds: Toast some sesame seeds over medium flame for ~5 minutes until deepened in color and you can hear some light popping sounds. Give a very light pound in a mortar to just crack them open a touch.
To prepare the fennel seed: Put 1 tsp fennel seed into a spice grinder and blitz until fine.
