How To Make awesome baked garlic aioli
-
Step 1Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat oven to 400f (205c).
-
Step 2Take a whole bulb of garlic, and cut the top off the garlic, about 1/4 inch.
-
Step 3Place the garlic bulb on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the top of the garlic.
-
Step 4Wrap the parchment paper around the garlic bulb, and twist to seal.
-
Step 5Place into the preheated oven, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cloves should be soft.
-
Step 6Remove three of the cloves, and extract from the skin. Save the additional garlic for another use… Like spreading on toast… YUM.
-
Step 7Add egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and baked garlic to a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
-
Step 8Blend at high speed, until the color of the mix is bright yellow, about 1 minute.
-
Step 9With the blender set to high speed, very slowly (drop by drop) add the oil, until the mayonnaise is thick, about 8 minutes.
-
Step 10Chef's Tip: Do not rush the adding of the oil, if you add it too fast, it won't emulsify properly.
-
Step 11Cover and chill.
-
Step 12Chef’s Note: Fresh aioli tastes wonderful, and you're not going to miss all those preservatives one tiny bit; however, what you gain in health and taste, you lose in shelf life. You can make this aioli up to two days before use… no more.

Step 13Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
