Ingredients

• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely crush the garlic cloves using a garlic press or the back of a knife. Place in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl with the garlic. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

In a separate container, combine the extra virgin olive oil and neutral oil. This mixture will ensure a balanced flavor and texture.

Step 4

Begin to continuously whisk the egg mixture in the bowl. Slowly start drizzling the oil mixture into the bowl in a very thin, steady stream. It is crucial to pour the oils gradually to create an emulsion.

Step 5

Continue whisking vigorously and pouring the oil until the mixture thickens and emulsifies into a creamy sauce.

Step 6

Once all the oil is incorporated and you have achieved a thick, smooth aioli, whisk in the salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning or lemon juice to your liking.

Step 8

Transfer the aioli to a clean container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
