Aioli
Creamy, emulsified, highly versatile sauce. It can take some practice to make, but once you get it. You will be delighted with a sauce that has a variety of applications. Aioli is made with simple ingredients making it cheap to produce, over the inferior expensive bottled alternative. Best made with room temperature eggs; if you grab them straight from the fridge, place them in a bowl of warm water to bring their temperature up.
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 500 Ml 1x
Ingredients
1 Egg Yolk (Room temp)
1 Whole Egg (Room temp)
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard (See note 1)
250 ml Olive oil
250 ml Canola Oil
Splash white wine vinegar
Seasoning to taste
Instructions
1. Place egg yolk and whole egg into mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add mustard, seasoning and splash of vinegar. Whisk.
2. Slowly pour in oil while whisking, once it starts to thicken and become stable you can pour the oil quicker. If you pour it quicker before its stable you risk splitting the sauce.
3. Keep pouring oil until you reach a thick creamy sauce. If it gets too thick you can add some water. Adjust the seasoning. You’re done. From here you can take it further with fresh herbs, gherkins, red pepper puree or any other flavours you can think of.
Notes
