Ingredients
-
Two extra-large free range egg yolks, room temperature
-
Pinch of sea salt, to taste
-
Three tsp fresh lemon juice
-
One clove fresh garlic, minced
-
One fourth cup extra virgin olive oil, mild strength
-
Five small cloves Aged Black Garlic, mashed
-
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Put the egg yolks, salt, lemon and fresh garlic into a blender cup. Using a hand-held mixer, blend ingredients gently on low for about 15 seconds until just combined.
With the blender running on low, very slowly drizzle in the oil (over a couple of minutes) and mix ingredients until it becomes thick and emulsified. Only use as much oil as needed to get a mayonnaise consistency.
Stir the black garlic and pepper through the aioli thoroughly.
Add extra lemon juice or water if needed to balance the acidity or thin out the consistency.
