Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Fresh tarragon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. If preferred, use a garlic press to ensure the garlic is finely minced.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt until well combined and smooth.
Begin to slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. Start very slowly, adding just a few drops at a time. This helps to emulsify the mixture into a thick, creamy sauce.
As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the amount of oil poured in, but never stop whisking. Continue until all the oil is incorporated.
Chop the fresh parsley, basil, chives, and tarragon finely, ensuring no large pieces remain. Stir these herbs into the aioli.
Season with black pepper and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or herbs if desired.
Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the herb aioli as a dipping sauce for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a sauce for grilled meats.
