Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Start adding the light olive oil very slowly, a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking the mixture.
As the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, you can start adding the oil in a thin, steady stream. Make sure to whisk constantly during this step.
Continue whisking and adding the oil until it has all been incorporated and the aioli has thickened to your desired consistency.
Season with black pepper and adjust the salt to taste.
Transfer the aioli to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
