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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 grates lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic* (, grated)
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon chives (, chopped, optional )
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (, optional )

Steps:

  • In a small food processor or cup using an immersion blend, whisk together yolks, lemon juice and zest, and mustard. Pulse, scraping down the sides, until it becomes a pale yellow paste.
  • While whisking or while the immersion blender is on, very slowly pour the oil into the yolk mixture. It should start to thicken and combine, but if it it does seperate, stop adding the oil and continue to whisk until it combines again, then resume the oil.
  • When fully combine, add the garlic and salt, either giving a few more quick pulses or folding in by hand. If you plan to add chives or black pepper, fold them in as well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors marry.

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.
