Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
Sprinkle of salt
1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington's), to taste
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In a small, shallow bowl, combine the pressed garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread it into an even layer so the juice can work its magic. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, so the lemon juice can absorb the garlic's flavor.
  • Place a fine mesh strainer over another bowl. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, scoop the contents of the bowl into the strainer, then press on the garlic with the spatula to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the garlic.
  • Stir the mayo into the garlicky lemon juice until combined. Taste, and adjust only if necessary-if the garlic flavor is overwhelming, stir in more mayonnaise by the tablespoon. If you want it to taste a little more interesting, add the Dijon mustard. For more tang, add another little squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Aioli will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up more as it chills.

REAL AIOLI

Aioli is arguably the greatest cold sauce of all time. Yet it's nothing more than olive oil emulsified into freshly crushed garlic, seasoned simply with salt and lemon. This is pure, fiery, intense garlic flavor like you may have never tasted.

BASIC AIOLI



Basic Aioli image

Like the name says, this is a basic, tasty aioli. You can season it up, or leave as is. I like to use the coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt, as it doesn't dissolve as quickly as regular salt. I also add coarse ground black peper, for the same reason.Just makes for a little tastier aioli. Amount is just a guess; mine came out to a little over a cup. Cooking time is the mellowing time.

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 garlic cloves
2 egg yolks
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix the garlic in a food procesor.
  • Add the egg and process until well mixed. With the motor running, slowly pour in half of the olive oil. Stop the machines and add the lemon juice. Then, with the motor running, slowly pour in the rest of the olive oil and process until the mixture is thickened and the oil is emulsified.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, covered, and up to 12 hours before serving. This will allow the raw garlic flavor to mello.
