Ingredients
- 6 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, combine the minced garlic and salt. Crush the garlic and salt together until you achieve a smooth paste.
Step 3
Add the egg yolk to the garlic paste and stir continuously to incorporate until smooth.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice and water to the mixture, blending well to combine.
Step 5
Begin to add the olive oil to the mixture a few drops at a time, while continuously stirring the mixture to emulsify. This step is crucial to achieve the creamy texture of the allioli. Be patient and add the oil slowly, ensuring it binds with the other ingredients.
Step 6
Once all the olive oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy, taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary with more salt or lemon juice.
Step 7
Serve your Keto Allioli immediately or refrigerate it for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Enjoy it as a condiment for meats, vegetables, or as a dip.
