Ingredients for Aioli Jamie Oliver

  • Garlic Clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Pure Olive Oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper

How to Make Aioli Jamie Oliver

  1. Grind 2-3 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a paste using a mortar and pestle.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard until light and slightly thickened.
  3. With the whisk constantly moving, begin adding olive oil drop by drop. Start slowly, ensuring each drop is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Once about 1/2 cup of olive oil has been emulsified, you can increase the flow of oil, still whisking vigorously and continuously.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
