Ingredients
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them using a mortar and pestle until they form a smooth paste. This can also be done using a garlic press for convenience.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the crushed garlic paste and the egg yolk until they are fully combined.
Step 3
Slowly start adding the extra virgin olive oil to the garlic and egg mixture, a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking. This step is crucial to ensure the sauce emulsifies properly.
Step 4
As the mixture begins to thicken, you can gradually increase the amount of olive oil added in a thin, steady stream, while continuing to whisk vigorously.
Step 5
Once all the olive oil is incorporated and the sauce is thick and glossy, stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
Step 7
Transfer the allioli to a serving dish. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
