Ingredients

• 5 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by peeling the garlic cloves. Use a sharp knife to slice each clove into thin slivers to make it easier to crush.

Step 2

2. Place the garlic slivers into a mortar. Add the salt, which will help in breaking down the garlic to a paste.

Step 3

3. Use a pestle to crush the garlic and salt together in the mortar. Work the garlic in a circular motion until it forms a smooth, uniform paste.

Step 4

4. Once you have a consistent paste, begin to slowly add the olive oil. Pour the oil into the mortar in a very thin stream while continuously stirring the garlic paste with the pestle.

Step 5

5. Keep stirring and adding the olive oil gradually. The key is to emulsify the olive oil with the garlic, creating a thick, creamy sauce.

Step 6

6. If the sauce starts to separate or does not thicken, stop adding oil and continue stirring until it recombines.

Step 7

7. Once all the olive oil is incorporated and the sauce has thickened, stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Step 8

8. Taste the alioli and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch more salt or additional lemon juice to your preference.

Step 9

9. Serve the Whole30 Allioli immediately as a condiment or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
