Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Neutral oil (like canola or sunflower oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Use the back of a knife to mash the garlic into a paste or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Combine the olive oil and neutral oil in a small bowl or measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.
While whisking the egg mixture continuously, very slowly drizzle in the oil mixture, starting with just a few drops at a time. This step is crucial to emulsify the ingredients and create a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the speed of the oil drizzle. Make sure to continue whisking vigorously to prevent the mayonnaise from separating.
Once all the oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, stir in the minced or mashed garlic.
Add black pepper to taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the garlic mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy your homemade garlic mayonnaise as a spread, dip, or dressing!
