Aioli Recipe
Aioli is a traditional Mediterranean sauce believed to have originated in Spain or Provence, France. Its name comes from the Catalan word "all" (garlic) and "oli" (oil), highlighting its key ingredients.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of pepper
Instructions
- First, chop the garlic cloves into small pieces and then toss them with salt. This helps bring out the tastes of the garlic.
- Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and garlic-salt mixture in a food processor or blender.
- Blend on low speed until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, then gradually add the olive oil in a steady stream.
- Add a dash of pepper and taste and adjust the salt. When you're ready to use the aioli, transfer it to a serving bowl and keep it chilled.
