Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instruction:

  1. Blend the ingredients. Combine 1 egg, a chopped garlic clove, 4 tsp fresh lemon juice, and ½ cup canola oil in the cup of a personal blender or food processor fitted with blade attachment. Process until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stream in olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl, then very slowly stream in ½ cup extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking. If you add the oil in too quickly, it will not emulsify. Do this slowly, a few drops at a time or a slow, steady stream of olive oil, and once it’s all incorporated, you’ll be rewarded with thick, creamy aioli. Season with ½ tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Stir well, then serve immediately or refrigerate.
