Aiolijamieoliver Recipes

Steps:

• Place garlic slices in a mortar with kosher salt. Mash with the pestle into a fine paste, 4 or 5 minutes. Mix in lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of olive oil; stir and mash until oil is incorporated. Add another teaspoon and mix in thoroughly. Continue incorporating olive oil, teaspoon by teaspoon, mashing and stirring until aioli thickens up. If the aioli gets thicker than you like, add a few drops of water.

Steps:

• Grind the garlic and salt in a mortar and pestle (or chop the garlic finely and rub the salt into it with the flat of your chef's knife, smearing it across your cutting board several times).
• Place egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Whisking vigorously, add olive oil drop by drop. Once about 1/2 cup of oil has been added, you can start pouring faster, still whisking continuously.
• When all the oil is incorporated, add garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• You can also add additional accent flavors, such as basil, fennel fronds, dill, or chopped roasted nuts.

Steps:

• Smash up the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have a mortar and pestle you can very finely chop the garlic). Place the egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Then start to add your olive oil bit by bit. Once you've blended in a half cup of the olive oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. When you've added it all, you can add the garlic and lemon (to taste) and any extra flavors such as basil, fennel tops, dill, chopped roast nuts. To finish just season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice.

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Whisk together yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a bowl. Combine oils and add, a few drops at a time, to yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified. (If mixture separates, stop adding oil and continue whisking until mixture comes together, then resume adding oil.)
• Whisk in garlic paste and season with salt and pepper. If aïoli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water. Chill, covered, until ready to use.

Steps:

• Process egg yolks, garlic, a pinch of salt, and mustard in a food processor until smooth. With processor running, slowly add oils, drop by drop at first and then in a slow, steady stream, until emulsified. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Finely chop garlic cloves in food processor. Gradually blend in oil. Add mayonnaise. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
