This is an excellent aioli (mayonnaise), that I’ll be using in future recipes; like my pastrami sandwich… It works with steak, fish, and just about anything that you like the taste of garlic. So, you ready… let’s get into the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, from a whole baked bulb (more on that later)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard, dijon style
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
  • /12 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 3/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin, or canola oil, plus extra for baking the garlic

How To Make awesome baked garlic aioli

  • Step 1
    Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat oven to 400f (205c).
  • Step 2
    Take a whole bulb of garlic, and cut the top off the garlic, about 1/4 inch.
  • Step 3
    Place the garlic bulb on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the top of the garlic.
  • Step 4
    Wrap the parchment paper around the garlic bulb, and twist to seal.
  • Step 5
    Place into the preheated oven, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cloves should be soft.
  • Step 6
    Remove three of the cloves, and extract from the skin. Save the additional garlic for another use… Like spreading on toast… YUM.
  • Step 7
    Add egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and baked garlic to a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
  • Step 8
    Blend at high speed, until the color of the mix is bright yellow, about 1 minute.
  • Step 9
    With the blender set to high speed, very slowly (drop by drop) add the oil, until the mayonnaise is thick, about 8 minutes.
  • Step 10
    Chef's Tip: Do not rush the adding of the oil, if you add it too fast, it won't emulsify properly.
  • Step 11
    Cover and chill.
  • Step 12
    Chef’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 13
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
