Ingredients
Scale
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1 cup olive oil (extra virgin or light)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
Instructions
- Mash garlic with salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife.
- Whisk in the egg yolk until combined.
- Slowly add oil drop by drop while whisking vigorously to form an emulsion.
- As the mixture thickens, continue to drizzle oil slowly while whisking continuously.
- Whisk in lemon juice or vinegar at the end and adjust seasoning to taste.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to prevent the aioli from breaking.
- For milder flavor, roast the garlic before use.
- You can substitute part of the olive oil with a neutral oil for a lighter taste.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To fix broken aioli, whisk a new egg yolk in a bowl and slowly add the broken mixture while whisking.
