Garlic Mayo (Ali Oli) image

Whenever I ask what I should bring to a gathering, this is always requested! It goes well with EVERYTHING! Steak, hamburgers, chicken, pork, on sandwiches, in potato salad, on sausages (brats, dogs, polish), and on fries. It keeps well in the fridge for about a week.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 egg
2 cloves garlic, hearts removed
1 pinch sea salt
1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 -2 cup sunflower oil ( olive oil makes the mayo a little bitter for my taste, the amount will depend)

Steps:

  • Put the egg, garlic and salt in a food processor.
  • Turn on, and whir until garlic is completely blended--I sometimes mash it first, even before adding it to the machine.
  • This is very important--Add the oil in a THIN steady stream--no thicker than spaghetti, especially at first.
  • Continue to add the oil in a steady stream until the mayo thickens.
  • Add the vinegar and process a couple seconds more.
  • Note:If for some reason the mayo does not thicken (it happens), remove the mixture from the food processor to a spouted container, put another egg into the food processor and add the previous mixture in a thin, steady stream, and it will thicken.

Provided by Lisa & Tony Sierra

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.

SHORTCUT AIOLI (GARLIC MAYO) RECIPE



Shortcut Aioli (Garlic Mayo) Recipe image

Garlic mayonnaise, or aioli, is one of America's most popular cold sauces. This simple aioli recipe has unlimited uses.

Provided by John Mitzewich

Categories     Sauces     Condiment     Ingredient

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cloves garlic
Salt
1 cup mayonnaise
2 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Crush the garlic cloves with the flat of a knife, and remove the skin. Then mince the garlic very finely.
  • Add a pinch of salt, and using the flat of the knife again, scrape and press the garlic against the cutting surface to make a paste that is as smooth as possible. It's making this paste from the fresh garlic that gives aioli its intense garlic flavor. Note that making a smooth paste is key to the success of this sauce. If you don't spend a few minutes on this step, you will be left with small bits of raw and harsh-tasting garlic, which will not do justice to the magic of aioli.
  • Add the garlic to a small bowl, and whisk together with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

AIOLI (GARLIC MAYONNAISE)



Aioli (Garlic Mayonnaise) image

The renowned chef Alice Waters makes her aioli in the most inefficient and old-fashioned way possible: using a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic, a fork to whip up the emulsion and no lemon juice, vinegar or any other acid at all. It was the best mayonnaise I've ever tasted, but then again, she did use a wonderfully perfumed olive oil. For this recipe, you should do the same.

Categories     condiments, dips and spreads

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cloves garlic (or to taste), peeled
Salt
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten, at room temperature
3/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic to a smooth paste in a mortar with a pinch of salt; set aside 1/3 of the paste. To the rest of the garlic add 1/2 teaspoon room-temperature water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the egg yolk, stirring well. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time. As the mixture begins to thicken, begin adding the oil in a slow, steady stream. If the aioli becomes too thick, thin it with a bit of water, and continue. After all the oil has been mixed in, taste for salt and garlic, and adjust accordingly. Serve with salmon and vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the alioli will taste. This is especially true for the garlic and olive oil.
  • Don't overdo it with the garlic: A little garlic goes a long way. If you add too much, the alioli will be overpowering.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the alioli. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Emulsify slowly: When you're emulsifying the alioli, do it slowly. This will help to prevent the oil from separating.
  • Taste as you go: As you're making the alioli, taste it regularly. This will help you to adjust the flavor to your liking.
  • Let the alioli chill: Once you've made the alioli, let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld.
