Ingredients
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 150 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into small pieces to make them easier to work with during the mashing process.
Step 2
Place the chopped garlic and salt in a mortar. Using a pestle, begin to crush the garlic into a smooth paste. Be patient; this step is key to achieving a creamy consistency.
Step 3
Once the garlic has turned into a smooth paste, start adding the olive oil very slowly, one drop at a time, while continuously stirring with the pestle in a circular motion.
Step 4
Continue adding the olive oil gradually, ensuring that it emulsifies with the garlic paste. The mixture should thicken and become creamy as you go.
Step 5
If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture for a subtle tangy flavor. Stir well to incorporate.
Step 6
When all the olive oil has been incorporated and the alioli has reached a thick, creamy consistency, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Step 7
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Alioli pairs beautifully with crusty bread, seafood, grilled meats, or as a dip for vegetables.
