Filfel chuma is a simple, pungent Tunisian sauce made by combining pounded garlic with cumin, olive oil, and lemon. It comes together in minutes and goes well with leftovers or grilled meat.
Pound the peeled garlic and salt together in a mortar for 5 minutes, until smooth.
Add the cumin, olive oil, and lemon juice and mix well.
Transfer the paste to a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Pounding the garlic with salt in a mortar mellows its sharpness and makes a smoother paste. Prepare the sauce at least 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.
