Ingredients
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the egg yolk, to help the emulsion process.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the minced garlic into the mixture, whisking continuously until incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate pouring jug, combine the vegetable oil and extra virgin olive oil.
Step 5
Slowly start adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Begin with just a few drops at a time, whisking continuously to form a thick emulsion.
Step 6
Once about a quarter of the oil has been added and the mixture starts to thicken, you can begin to add the oil more steadily as you continue to whisk.
Step 7
Continue whisking and adding oil until all of it is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and glossy.
Step 8
Taste the garlic mayo and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the garlic mayo to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using, allowing the flavors to meld together. The mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
