Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 piece Lemon
- 150 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 150 milliliters Sunflower oil or regular olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely grate them into a paste using a microplane or crush them with the flat side of a knife and a pinch of salt to form a smooth garlic paste.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and the grated garlic paste until well combined and slightly frothy.
Squeeze the lemon and set aside 1 tablespoon of fresh juice. Add this to the garlic-egg mixture, whisking until it is thoroughly incorporated.
In a measuring cup, combine the extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil. Slowly drizzle the oils into the garlic-egg mixture, a few drops at a time, whisking constantly to emulsify the mixture. Take care to go slowly at first to ensure the aioli doesn’t split.
As the mixture begins to thicken, you can gradually add the oils in a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk vigorously until all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is creamy and smooth.
Season the aioli with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If needed, add a touch more lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use. Enjoy as a dip, spread, or sauce with your favorite dishes.
