Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 4
Begin slowly drizzling in the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time to form an emulsion, then gradually increase the flow as the mixture thickens.
Step 5
Continue whisking and adding olive oil until all of it is incorporated, and the aioli reaches a creamy, smooth consistency.
Step 6
If the aioli is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water to adjust the texture to your liking.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or spices if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
