Ingredients for Aioli Jamie Oliver

How to Make Aioli Jamie Oliver
- Grind 2-3 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a paste using a mortar and pestle.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard until light and slightly thickened.
- With the whisk constantly moving, begin adding olive oil drop by drop. Start slowly, ensuring each drop is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Once about 1/2 cup of olive oil has been emulsified, you can increase the flow of oil, still whisking vigorously and continuously.
- Continue adding oil until the mixture is thick and creamy. Stir in the garlic paste, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- For extra gourmet flair, stir in 1 tablespoon of your favorite fresh herbs (basil, fennel fronds, or dill) or 1 tablespoon of chopped roasted nuts.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
