Ingredients
  

Garlic Aioli Ingredients
  • 2 small cloves garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (like sunflower, grapeseed, or vegetable oil)
  • Salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Use a microplane grater to grate the garlic.
  2. Place the grated garlic, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of a food processor and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the whole egg and egg yolk to the bowl, then pulse until the mixture is blended and frothy.
  4. In a measuring jug, combine the olive oil and neutral oil for easier pouring.
  5. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, turn the food processor on, and slowly add the oil in tiny drops until about a quarter of the oil has been added.
  6. Once the mixture starts to thicken, continue to drizzle in the oil slowly.
  7. When all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick, taste it and adjust with additional lemon juice and salt if needed.
  8. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper on top.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. Stir before serving. Use fresh garlic for best flavor and ensure eggs are at room temperature for proper thickening.
