Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Begin slowly drizzling in the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time to form an emulsion, then gradually increase the flow as the mixture thickens.
Continue whisking and adding olive oil until all of it is incorporated, and the aioli reaches a creamy, smooth consistency.
If the aioli is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water to adjust the texture to your liking.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or spices if needed.
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
