Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or grate them using a microplane to ensure a fine texture.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Start adding the olive oil slowly, just a few drops at a time, while whisking vigorously to emulsify the sauce.
Continue gradually adding the olive oil in a thin, steady stream while continuously whisking to maintain a stable emulsion.
Once all the olive oil is incorporated, stir in the minced garlic.
Season the sauce with ground black pepper and additional salt to taste if needed.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Serve the garlic mayo as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, or as a dip for grilled vegetables or seafood skewers.
