Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 150 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into small pieces to make them easier to work with during the mashing process.
Place the chopped garlic and salt in a mortar. Using a pestle, begin to crush the garlic into a smooth paste. Be patient; this step is key to achieving a creamy consistency.
Once the garlic has turned into a smooth paste, start adding the olive oil very slowly, one drop at a time, while continuously stirring with the pestle in a circular motion.
Continue adding the olive oil gradually, ensuring that it emulsifies with the garlic paste. The mixture should thicken and become creamy as you go.
If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture for a subtle tangy flavor. Stir well to incorporate.
When all the olive oil has been incorporated and the alioli has reached a thick, creamy consistency, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Alioli pairs beautifully with crusty bread, seafood, grilled meats, or as a dip for vegetables.
