Ingredients
- 2 large Garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Canola oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined and smooth.
Step 2
Start adding the olive oil very slowly and in a thin stream while continuously whisking the mixture. It's crucial to add the oil gradually to ensure the sauce emulsifies properly.
Step 3
Once about half of the olive oil is incorporated, begin alternating between the olive oil and canola oil, continuing to whisk constantly, until all the oil is fully incorporated and the aioli is thick and creamy.
Step 4
Season the aioli with ground black pepper to your taste and whisk again to mix the seasoning in evenly.
Step 5
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for a hint of spice and additional color.
Step 6
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. If not serving immediately, store it in the refrigerator. The aioli can be kept for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Step 7
Stir the aioli before serving to ensure the mixture is well blended.
