EASY GARLIC AIOLI (GARLIC SPREAD)



Easy Garlic Aioli (Garlic Spread) image

If you love garlic then this spread is a must-try. Use it on sandwiches and veggies. I have coated this on salmon fillets before baking. My advise is if you are using this to coat your salmon fillets, you might want to decrease the garlic amount. This spread does a great job keeping the moistness in the fish and gives it a fantastic flavor. Please don't leave out the fresh tarragon--it's what brings this spread to life! The garlic amount may be decreased. Use only mayonnaise not salad dressing for this.

QUICK AND EASY GARLIC AIOLI



Quick and Easy Garlic Aioli image

I was taught to make this Aioli in Spanish cooking classes, it is basically a fast way to make an real (or almost real) Aioli without resorting to using pre made mayonnaise. It tastes great and takes under 5 minutes to prepare. You will need a thin tall measuring cup or jug and a hand held (vertical or stab) blender. If you don't like garlic, you can make without. You can add things like herbs (fresh or dried), black pepper, smoked paprika or other things you like. Experiment with the amount of oil and lemon juice, or try lime juice. If you want it to be more rich add two eggs yokes instead of one whole egg.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you only have garlic powder, use 1/4 teaspoon per clove of garlic.
  • Make sure the egg yolks are at room temperature before starting. This will help the aioli emulsify more easily.
  • Add the oil very slowly, in a thin stream, while whisking constantly. This will prevent the aioli from breaking.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can make aioli by hand. Simply whisk the egg yolks and garlic together in a bowl until they are thick and creamy. Then, add the oil very slowly, in a thin stream, while whisking constantly.
  • Aioli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, it is best to use it within 2 days for the best flavor.
