Homemade Garlic Aioli

Homemade garlic aioli.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup neutral oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method

  1. 1

    Add the egg, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, and salt to a tall, narrow container. Pour the oil over the top and let everything settle for a few seconds. (If adding any herbs or other flavors, you can add now and blend, or mix after)

  2. 2

    Place an immersion blender all the way at the bottom of the container and don't move it. Blend for 10–15 seconds, or until the mixture at the bottom becomes thick and creamy. (Keeping the blender at the bottom at first is important for proper emulsification!) Slowly lift the blender upward to incorporate the remaining oil. Blend until completely thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Taste and add more lemon or salt as needed. Keep refrigerated and use within 3–4 days.
