Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic cloves into a fine paste using a knife or garlic press. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard together until well combined.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form an emulsion. Start with just a few drops at a time and then increase to a thin, steady stream as the mixture thickens.
Once all of the olive oil has been incorporated, stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and dill, then fold them into the aioli using a spatula or spoon.
Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. If the consistency is too thick, stir in a small amount of water (1 teaspoon at a time).
Transfer the aioli to a serving bowl or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve the aioli with fresh vegetables, grilled meats, crusty bread, or use it as a spread for sandwiches.
