How to Make Classic Aoli French Garlic Mayonnaise

  1. Crush 2-3 cloves of garlic to a fine paste in a mortar and pestle with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
  2. Add 2 large egg yolks and whisk gently. Add a pinch more salt if needed.
  3. With the mortar and pestle or a whisk, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of high-quality olive oil, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and emulsifies into a smooth, glossy mayonnaise. This will take a few minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (or to taste) and continue whisking until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
