Ingredients
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.75 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the garlic cloves and mincing them finely using a sharp knife or a garlic press. Place the minced garlic in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the egg yolk to the bowl, ensuring there is no trace of egg white, as this helps maintain the aioli's creamy texture.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the bowl, using a whisk to combine everything thoroughly.
Step 4
Slowly begin to drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. Start by adding just a few drops at a time, allowing the oil to emulsify with the egg yolk mixture.
Step 5
As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the amount of olive oil added at once, still whisking steadily, until you've incorporated all the oil.
Step 6
Once the sauce has emulsified and is creamy, add in the freshly ground black pepper for an additional hint of flavor.
Step 7
To adjust the texture, whisk in up to a tablespoon of water to achieve your desired consistency, ensuring it's still thick enough to hold shape.
Step 8
Optional: Taste the aioli and adjust the lemon juice or mustard to your preference, considering the low sodium goal.
Step 9
Transfer the aioli sauce to a serving dish or jar. For best flavor, let the aioli sit for at least half an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
Step 10
Serve the low sodium aioli as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a garnish for grilled meats.
