Category: Sauces and Condiments
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Garlic | 4 cloves |
| Peanut oil | 300 ml |
| Fine salt | To taste |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| White pepper | To taste |
| Egg yolks | 3 |
Instructions:
-
Boil an Egg: Start by boiling an egg to a hard consistency. Once cooked, carefully remove the yolk, set it aside for later use, and discard the white.
-
Prepare Garlic: Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, making sure to remove the inner germ to prevent bitterness.
-
Mash Garlic: Using a mortar and pestle, add the chopped garlic and a pinch of salt. Crush them together until you have a smooth paste.
-
Blend the Aioli: Transfer the garlic paste into a blender or food processor. Add the fresh egg yolks into the mix. Start blending and, as the mixture combines, slowly pour in the peanut oil in a thin stream. Keep blending until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy consistency.
-
Add Lemon & Egg Yolk: Once the aioli reaches the desired texture, stop the blender. Now, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice along with the crumbled hard-boiled egg yolk. Blend for a few more seconds until well incorporated.
-
Season: Taste your aioli and adjust the flavor with more salt and white pepper if needed. If you prefer a more tangy aioli, feel free to add a little more lemon juice.
-
Serve and Store: Transfer your freshly made aioli into a bowl or a glass jar. Cover it and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. The aioli will stay fresh for up to seven days when properly stored in the fridge.
This rich, garlicky aioli sauce is perfect for dipping, drizzling on sandwiches, or as a delicious accompaniment to your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
