This is a very basic but delicious aioli, which is basically homemade mayo, however if you're used to mayo from a jar prepare to be amazed. It's very, very customizable. I've made it using basil oil, garlic oil, or roasted red pepper oil in place of the olive oil. Read more C'est si bon! See less
Ingredients
- 1 whole egg shopping list
- 1 egg yolk shopping list
- 1/4 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 2 tbsp lemon juice shopping list
- 6 cloves of garlic, chopped as fine as you can get them (or use a garlic press) shopping list
How to make it
- Blender method:
- Blend the egg, egg yolk, and salt in a blender.
- While the blender is still going, slowly pour in half of the olive oil in a very thin stream
- Turn the blender off and pour in the lemon juice
- Turn the blender back on to blend in the lemon juice and the add the rest of the oil, again slowly in a very thin stream
- As the aioli begins to thicken, you can add the oil faster
- When you're done adding the oil, turn off the blender
- Pour aioli into a bowl and stir in the garlic.
- Voilà!
- Wire wisk method:
- Basically the same as above but if you don't have a blender you can do this with a wire wisk, though it is more time consuming and arm-aching. The one rule to remember: Only stir in one direction! Also, putting something like a dishtowel under your bowl helps so that you don't need to hold the bowl as you need both of your hands free (one to pour oil, one to stir, stir, stir)
