How To Make spanish alioli
-
Step 1Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
-
Step 2Place the minced garlic into a mortar. Using the pestle, begin to pound the minced garlic until it is well-mashed.
-
Step 3Add the egg yolk and salt into the bowl with the mashed garlic. Stir well.
-
Step 4Very slowly, add only a little bit of oil at a time, stirring constantly. Be sure to go slowly so that the garlic and oil have a chance to blend well.
-
Step 5Once the mixture begins to thicken, add the lemon juice. The resulting texture should be a creamy, smooth mayonnaise.
-
Step 6Refrigerate the mixture.
-
Step 7NOTE: If you do not have a mortar and pestle or are pressed for time, combine all ingredients in a small- or medium-sized bowl, and use a hand mixer. Keep the mixer steady and pressed to the bottom of the bowl at first, and slowly let it come up to fluff the mixture as the mixture thickens.
-
Step 8This will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
