Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to crush them.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.
In a separate container, combine the vegetable oil and olive oil.
While continuously whisking the egg mixture, very slowly start to drizzle the mixed oils into the bowl. Begin with just a few drops at a time to start emulsifying the mixture.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, you can increase the oil to a slow, steady stream, continuing to whisk vigorously. Ensure the oil is completely incorporated before adding more.
If the mayonnaise becomes too thick, or the oils do not seem to be incorporating well, add the water and continue whisking until smooth.
Season the mayonnaise with black pepper and additional salt to taste if necessary.
Transfer the finished garlic mayonnaise to a clean container and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
