Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 medium Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Canola oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For a smoother aioli, you can also crush the garlic into a paste using the flat side of a knife before mincing.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, and Dijon mustard until well combined and frothy.
In a separate container, mix the olive oil and canola oil together to ensure even consistency.
Gradually add the blended oils to the egg yolk mixture. Start by adding a few drops at a time while continuously whisking. As the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, you can increase to a slow, steady stream, constantly whisking to maintain the emulsion.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick, creamy, and smooth, season with freshly ground black pepper and gently mix to incorporate.
Taste the aioli – this is a low sodium recipe, but if you find it needs a touch of salt for your taste preference, add a small pinch of a low-sodium salt substitute if desired.
Transfer the finished aioli to a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled alongside your favorite veggies, seafood, or as a flavorful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
