Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl.
- Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil, whisking constantly. Start with just a few drops at a time, then gradually increase the flow as the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken.
- Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
- For a thinner consistency, whisk in a teaspoon of water.
Notes
- For a smoother aioli, you can use an immersion blender or food processor.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- This aioli is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
