Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Alternatively, use a microplane to grate them into a paste for a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Start adding the olive oil very slowly, just a drop at a time, while whisking vigorously. Do not add the oil too quickly, as this may cause the mixture to split.
Step 4
As the emulsion starts to form and thicken, you can increase the speed of adding the olive oil, transitioning to a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking constantly.
Step 5
Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, stir in the minced garlic, salt, and an optional teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency if it's too thick.
Step 6
Taste the aioli and adjust with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
