Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Alternatively, use a microplane to grate them into a paste for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Start adding the olive oil very slowly, just a drop at a time, while whisking vigorously. Do not add the oil too quickly, as this may cause the mixture to split.
As the emulsion starts to form and thicken, you can increase the speed of adding the olive oil, transitioning to a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking constantly.
Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, stir in the minced garlic, salt, and an optional teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency if it's too thick.
Taste the aioli and adjust with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
