Homemade Garlic Aioli
Rich, creamy, and bursting with garlicky flavor, this homemade aioli transforms even the simplest meal into gourmet fare. Crafted from scratch with pantry staples, its silky emulsion is balanced with robust garlic and fresh lemon. Perfect as a dip, spread, or drizzle.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
- 1 cup neutral oil such as grapeseed or canola
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and grated garlic until fully combined.
- Begin adding the oil very slowly, a few drops at a time, while whisking constantly. This step is crucial for emulsifying the mixture.
- As the mixture thickens, you can increase the oil to a slow, steady stream, continuing to whisk until all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the aioli and season with salt as needed.
- Transfer to a clean jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use.
