Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the exposed cloves and wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Once the garlic has cooled, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins into a bowl and mash them into a smooth paste using a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.
While continuously whisking, begin adding the vegetable oil in a very slow, steady stream. Start with just a few drops at a time until it starts to emulsify, then gradually increase the flow. Whisk until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Add the mashed roasted garlic and whisk until fully blended. Adjust the seasoning with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed.
If the mayonnaise is too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency.
Transfer the roasted garlic mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
