Ingredients
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, you can grate the garlic using a microplane for a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. Start with a very thin stream to ensure proper emulsification.
Step 4
Continue to whisk vigorously, adding the olive oil gradually, until the aioli begins to thicken and reach a creamy consistency.
Step 5
Once all the oil is incorporated, season the aioli with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Step 6
For a smoother texture or if needed, use a blender or food processor to combine the ingredients more thoroughly, still adding the oil slowly.
Step 7
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve the aioli as a dip, spread, or dressing for meats, vegetables, or sandwiches.
