Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Set aside.
Dice half a medium-sized yellow onion into small pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and diced onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened and lightly golden. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk, 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt until well combined.
Drizzle 1 cup of vegetable oil very slowly into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking. This step requires patience—add the oil a few drops at a time initially to create an emulsion. Once the mixture begins to thicken, you can add the oil more steadily while continuing to whisk.
Once all the oil is incorporated, stir in the cooled garlic and onion mixture. Mix well.
Taste and season with 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper and additional salt if needed.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a sandwich spread, dipping sauce, or topping for grilled dishes.
