Categories     Sauces     Condiment

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 garlic cloves, medium to large
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more, to taste
2 egg yolks
1 cup extra-virgin Spanish olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon​ fresh lemon juice
Serving suggestions: spoon on fish, spread on sandwiches, or use as a dipping sauce for French fries

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Peel and mince the garlic.
  • Using the flat side of a large knife, crush the garlic.
  • Place the crushed garlic into a small mortar and pestle, add the salt, and smash into a paste. (An alternative to save time is to use a good garlic press that peels and mashes the garlic in one step. Either way, you can use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic into a paste.)
  • Crack the eggs and separate the yolks into a small mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the garlic paste to the bowl and whisk to blend.
  • With a hand mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream until a creamy sauce begins to form.

  • Serve with fish, as a condiment for your favorite sandwich, or as a dipping sauce for French fries. Enjoy.
