Ingredients
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 250 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the garlic cloves and placing them in a mortar.
Step 2
Add the sea salt to the garlic in the mortar.
Step 3
Using a pestle, gently crush the garlic and salt together until a smooth paste forms.
Step 4
Very slowly start to drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the garlic paste, just a few drops at a time, while continuously grinding and stirring the mixture with the pestle.
Step 5
Continue to add the olive oil in a slow stream, ensuring it emulsifies with the garlic paste. This process is crucial to achieve the smooth and creamy texture of allioli.
Step 6
After all the oil has been incorporated and the sauce is thickened, add the lemon juice and stir well to combine.
Step 7
Taste the allioli and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or an additional drop of lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Step 8
Transfer the allioli to a serving dish and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
