Instructions
Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by collecting fresh garlic, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and high-quality olive oil. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
Blend the Base
- Place the egg yolks, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard in a food processor. Blend these ingredients until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.
Emulsify
- With the processor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. This step is crucial; adding the oil too quickly can cause the aioli to separate. Aim for a slow, steady stream.
Season to Taste
- Once the mixture is creamy, add a splash of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend again to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Check the Consistency
- Your garlic aioli should be thick and creamy. If it’s too thin, you can add a bit more oil while blending. Conversely, if it’s too thick, a few drops of water can help.
Store Properly
- Transfer your garlic aioli to an airtight container. It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
