Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or crush them into a paste using a garlic press.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil into a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
Step 4
Slowly start adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture one drop at a time, whisking continuously to ensure the oil emulsifies with the other ingredients. This step is crucial for creating thick, creamy Garlic Lemonnaise.
Step 5
As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the speed at which you add the oil, drizzling it in while continuously whisking.
Step 6
Once all the oil has been incorporated, taste the Garlic Lemonnaise and season with black pepper and additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the Garlic Lemonnaise to a clean jar or container, cover, and refrigerate for up to one week.
