Aioli used to be a mysterious delicious sauce that I only came across at cafes. Finally one day I decided to "Google it". I found a recipe, decided to give it a try and discovered that it is not difficult to make. Now I make it every week instead of buying mayonnaise and can whip up a batch in about 10 minutes!
You can make it by hand with a whisk or in a food processor.
Ingredients:
1 egg yolk
1 Tbspn Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
pinch of salt
1/2 to 1 cup olive oil
2 tspns water
fresh lemon juice (or lime juice) to taste
salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl (or food processor) whisk together egg yolk, mustard and a pinch of salt.
Add garlic and continue to whisk.
Drizzle in olive oil at a slow pace continuing to whisk. Whisk for about 5 minutes to combine well.
Slowly add the water while whisking to add consistency while it thickens.
Add drops of lemon juice to taste
Add salt and pepper to taste.
I sometimes add some dried mixed herbs as well.
Refrigerate to set until needed.
Enjoy!
