Ingredients

• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. For a smoother aioli, you may crush the garlic into a paste using a pinch of salt and the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3

While whisking continuously, begin to slowly drizzle in the olive oil, just a few drops at a time to start. Once the mixture starts to emulsify and thicken, you can add the oil more steadily in a thin stream. This step is key to creating a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 4

When all the olive oil has been incorporated, stir in the minced garlic paste, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

If the aioli is too thick, you can thin it out by whisking in a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a dip or spread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
