Garlic Aioli

Serves	Total Time
8	5 minutes

Ingredients¶

2 large eggs
1 large clove garlic
1 lemon
0.25 tsp salt
0.5 cup grapeseed oil
0.25 cup olive oil

Cookware¶

1 bowl
1 microplane or very fine grater
1 food processor or blender
1 measuring cup

Instructions¶

Step 1¶

Place the eggs in a bowl and cover with warm water to bring to room temperature.

Step 2¶

Paste the garlic using a microplane or very fine grater. You can also use a garlic press, or finely mince the garlic then smash it with the side of your knife until it turns to a paste.

Step 3¶

Juice ½ of the lemon. Measure 1 teaspoon of fresh juice and set aside.

Step 4¶

Separate the yolk from one egg and discard the white.

Step 5¶

Add the egg yolk, the white and yolk of another egg, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, the garlic paste, and salt to a food processor or blender.

Step 6¶

Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are evenly blended and frothy.

Step 7¶

Add the grapeseed oil and olive oil to a measuring cup. Turn the food processor on and add the oil very slowly (drop by drop, not a stream).

Step 8¶

Once the mixture starts to thicken and you can see it emulsifying (it's a consistent mixture and you can't see the oil), then start pouring faster, in a thin stream.

Step 9¶

Once all the oil is added, stop the food processor. Check the mixture — the consistency should be similar to mayonnaise. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 10¶

Let the aioli sit for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
