Ingredients for Aioli

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make Our Aioli Recipe step-by-step
- Prepare the garlic: Start by mincing the garlic as finely as possible. You can also use a garlic press to achieve a finer texture, which is ideal for a smooth aioli.
- Combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until fully blended.
- Emulsify the oil: While whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil a few drops at a time at first. As the mixture begins to thicken, you can add the oil in a steady stream. Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick and creamy.
- Season: Season the aioli with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the lemon juice or garlic according to your preference.
- Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the aioli to thicken further.
- Enjoy: Serve your homemade aioli as a dip for vegetables, fries, or as a spread for sandwiches and burgers.
