How to make Aioli
Aioli is essentially a garlic infused mayonnaise. After having some store bought Aioli, I knew I had to make it from scratch and keep it on hand. Aioli is made with olive oil and garlic and has immense flavor! Let me show you how to make Aioli!
We love tuna and egg salad in our home. With that being said, we go through a good amount of mayo. I have made homemade mayo for years. https://therosehomestead.com/how-to-make-homemade-mayonnaise/ Although homemade mayo is delicious, after having Aioli, I will never go back!
I have found that the easiest way to make aioli or mayo is with an immersion blender. You can also make it with a food processor or a high speed blender.
To make homemade aioli, you will need:
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Lemon juice or dijon mustard
- Garlic
- Egg
The key to a great aioli is lots and lots of garlic and that the garlic is grated so that it is super fine and the juices get crushed out.
To make the Aioli, start by putting the egg, salt, and mustard/lemon juice in a wide mouth mason jar. Grate the garlic over the jar with a zester grater or very fine grater.
Pour the oil over the mixture.
Using the immersion blender, put the end all the way down in the jar. Start the blender and move it slightly up and down. In seconds, the aioli will be thick and creamy!
Store your Aioli in the fridge for up to a week.
