01 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks vigorously until they lighten in color and become slightly frothy. (Approximately 1 minute)
02 Step

Add the minced garlic to the egg yolks and stir to combine. (Approximately 30 seconds)
03 Step

Begin adding the olive oil in a very slow, thin stream, whisking constantly and energetically. It is crucial to emulsify the oil into the egg yolks gradually to create a stable sauce. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)
04 Step

Continue whisking and adding the oil until the aïoli becomes thick, light, and creamy. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a few drops of water to loosen it. (Approximately 2 minutes)
05 Step

Season the aïoli with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (Approximately 30 seconds)
06 Step

07 Step
Recipe View
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. The aïoli is best served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than a few hours.
For an even smoother Aïoli, consider using a blender or food processor. Gradually drizzle the olive oil into the egg yolk and garlic mixture while the machine is running.
Infuse your Aïoli with additional flavors by adding a pinch of saffron, a dash of cayenne pepper, or a handful of fresh herbs such as parsley or basil.
The quality of the olive oil is paramount to the success of this recipe. Choose an extra virgin olive oil with a robust flavor profile that complements the other ingredients.
Freshness is key. Consume the Aïoli within a few hours of making it for the best flavor and texture.
If your Aïoli breaks, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or another egg yolk to help stabilize it.
