Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup neutral oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Finely mince the garlic or use a garlic press to crush it as much as possible.
  • Combine the oils in a large measuring cup and set them aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard, then pour the mixture into a blender.
  • Partially cover the blender, leaving a small opening (or remove the lid section that allows additions), and set it to low speed.
  • Gradually add the blended oils, pouring in 1 teaspoon at a time and allowing the blender to run for 5 seconds after each addition, until you've added the first ¼ cup. The mixture should start thickening.
  • While the blender is still running, pour in the remaining oil in a very thin stream. This process should take at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides. If you can't maintain a steady stream, add 2 teaspoons at a time.
  • Once all the oil is fully incorporated, the mixture should be thick and pale.
  • Add the salt and minced garlic, then pulse several times to incorporate.
  • Transfer the mixture to a glass container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Transfer the aioli to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
