Healthy Recipes Healthy Sauce & Condiment Recipes The Best Homemade Aioli Be the first to rate & review! This creamy homemade garlic aioli is oh, so delicious. Adding the oils slowly and gradually helps the mixture hold its emulsion and not split. The more slowly you add the oil, the thicker the aioli will be. Conversely, faster pouring will yield a thinner aioli—but too fast and it will break. If it does break, don't panic. Just place a new egg yolk in a clean bowl and slowly whisk in the broken aioli until smooth and creamy. Use this homemade garlic aioli as a dipping sauce for crunchy vegetables, steamed artichokes or french fries, or as a sandwich spread.

Sprinkle the garlic with salt; use the flat side of a chef's knife to crush the garlic into a smooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl. Add egg yolk and lemon juice; whisk until smooth. Whisking constantly, slowly start adding canola oil drop by drop. When the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, continue pouring the canola oil in a slow, thin, steady stream while whisking constantly. Gradually pour in olive oil, whisking constantly until the aioli is smooth, thick and creamy. Tip When a recipe calls for raw eggs, you can minimize the risk of foodborne illness by using pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs. Look for them in the refrigerator case near other whole eggs.
