Ingredients
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 120 ml Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 240 ml Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them in half. Remove any green shoots if present as they can impart a bitter taste.
Step 2
Place the garlic, aquafaba, lemon juice, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until the garlic is completely pureed.
Step 3
Add the Dijon mustard to the mixture and blend for about 30 seconds to incorporate it evenly.
Step 4
With the blender or processor running on low speed, begin to slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream. This should be done cautiously and steadily to ensure proper emulsification, which gives the allioli its creamy texture.
Step 5
Once all the olive oil is incorporated, increase the blender speed to medium-high and continue blending for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens to a mayonnaise-like consistency.
Step 6
Taste the allioli and adjust the salt or add more lemon juice if needed according to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the allioli to a bowl or a jar. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 8
Enjoy as a dip with bread, as a sauce with grilled vegetables, or as an accompaniment to many other dishes.
