Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or crush them into a smooth paste using the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolk until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the finely crushed garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to the egg yolk. Whisk until well combined.
While continuously whisking, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil, a few drops at a time at first. Once the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, you can add the remaining olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
Repeat the process with the neutral oil, continuing to whisk until the mixture achieves a creamy mayonnaise-like consistency.
Taste the alioli and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed. If the mixture is too thick, incorporate a teaspoon of water to reach the desired consistency.
Transfer the finished alioli to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days for later use.
