Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the egg yolk, to help the emulsion process.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gradually add the minced garlic into the mixture, whisking continuously until incorporated.
In a separate pouring jug, combine the vegetable oil and extra virgin olive oil.
Slowly start adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Begin with just a few drops at a time, whisking continuously to form a thick emulsion.
Once about a quarter of the oil has been added and the mixture starts to thicken, you can begin to add the oil more steadily as you continue to whisk.
Continue whisking and adding oil until all of it is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and glossy.
Taste the garlic mayo and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the garlic mayo to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using, allowing the flavors to meld together. The mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
