Homemade Aioli

HOMEMADE AIOLI

MAKES 1 LITRE   |   GLUTEN-FREE   |   DAIRY-FREE   |  VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tbsp Confit garlic or 1 tsp fresh crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 litre Canola oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp White pepper

Place the egg yolks, mustards, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.

Whisk on medium-high speed while slowly drizzling in the oil.

You will notice it starting to thicken and lighten in colour.

Once you have added all of the oil, the aioli will be very thick. You can add 2 tbsp of boiling water at a time while whisking to thin out the mix to your desired consistency.

Stir in the salt, pepper and lemon zest.

If you want to flavour the aioli (see flavour options below), then stir in the chosen ingredients, and store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (or until the best before date on the eggs).


Flavour Options

Coriander & Lime – Zest of 2 limes and 30g finely chopped coriander stalks and leaves.

Chipotle – Blend 3–4 chipotles in your food processor then add.

Old Bay Seasoning* – Great for seafood! Add 2 Tbsp.

Smoked Paprika – 1 Tbsp smoked paprika.

Truffle Oil – Depends on the strength of your oil, but start with 2 Tbsp and whisk.

Sriracha – Add to taste for your spice tolerance, start with 1 Tbsp at a time.

Pesto – Add 6–8 Tbsp pesto.

Smokey Cheddar – 1 tsp liquid smoke and 100g finely grated Cheddar.

Caesar Dressing – 1–2 Tbsp finely chopped anchovies, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 30g finely grated Parmesan and 1 tsp extra Dijon mustard.

* Old Bay Seasoning is an American seasoning available online.
