Nikki, Homemade Garlic Mayo (Alioli)
Ingredients:
- 2 generous pinches of sea salt (the amount that you can pick up between your thumb and fingers)
- 3 cloves garlic (more or less, to taste)
- 1 egg
- sunflower oil (I prefer sunflower to olive in this recipe…the olive oil makes the alioli bitter imo)…now this will vary, but about a cup?
- 2-3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Preparation:
Add salt, garlic and egg to your food processor or blender and process until garlic is finely chopped.
In a thin, steady stream (this is really important), add the sunflower oil until the sauce thickens. I have had it happen where the mayo never thickens. Don’t worry, just pour the mixture into another receptacle, add another egg and slowly pour it back in in a steady stream. When the mayo has thickened, add the vinegar (processing all the while) to mix. Adjust salt.
