Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or crush them into a paste using a garlic press.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil into a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
Slowly start adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture one drop at a time, whisking continuously to ensure the oil emulsifies with the other ingredients. This step is crucial for creating thick, creamy Garlic Lemonnaise.
As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the speed at which you add the oil, drizzling it in while continuously whisking.
Once all the oil has been incorporated, taste the Garlic Lemonnaise and season with black pepper and additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the Garlic Lemonnaise to a clean jar or container, cover, and refrigerate for up to one week.
