Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify the mixture. Begin with a few drops of oil at a time, gradually increasing to a thin stream as the mixture thickens.
Once half of the neutral oil is incorporated, whisk in the olive oil in the same manner, continuing to emulsify.
Stir in the hot sauce, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the aioli to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or accompaniment to seafood dishes.
