How to Make Aioli
Description
How to Make Aioli involves combining garlic cloves, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice or white vinegar, and salt in a food processor. The mixture is blended until smooth and then a neutral oil like canola, safflower, or grapeseed is streamed in slowly to build a stable emulsion that thickens into a creamy sauce. The balance of tang from the mustard and lemon juice with the pungency of garlic results in a flavorful condiment.
The resulting aioli has a smooth and thick texture characteristic of emulsified sauces, making it versatile for spreading on sandwiches, serving with vegetables, or complementing grilled foods. It can be adjusted with seasoning to taste after emulsification.
Leftover aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, which helps in planning ahead or using it over several meals.
