The perfect aïoli

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 free-range egg yolks
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
5 ml Dijon mustard
15 ml white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
125 ml olive oil
125 ml sunflower oil
Lemon juice, to taste

Method

Whisk the yolks with the garlic, mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper.

Slowly add the oils in a steady stream, continuously whisking the whole time. If the mixture is too thick, add a little hot water and continue whisking in the rest of the oils.

Add some lemon juice and more salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with Cos lettuce and Parmesan shavings for a modern twist on a Caesar salad. It’s also delicious served with seafood or French fries.

Cook's note: Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
