Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method
 

  1. Combine the egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor. Pulse for about 30 seconds until frothy.
  2. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil over about 2 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy.
  3. Taste and adjust salt or lemon, then transfer to a bowl and serve.

Notes

For the smoothest result, use a mild, buttery olive oil and let the aioli rest in the fridge for an hour for the garlic to mellow. The sauce will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated.
