Ingredients

• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon Fresh tarragon
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. If preferred, use a garlic press to ensure the garlic is finely minced.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Begin to slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. Start very slowly, adding just a few drops at a time. This helps to emulsify the mixture into a thick, creamy sauce.

Step 4

As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the amount of oil poured in, but never stop whisking. Continue until all the oil is incorporated.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley, basil, chives, and tarragon finely, ensuring no large pieces remain. Stir these herbs into the aioli.

Step 6

Season with black pepper and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or herbs if desired.

Step 7

Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Step 8

Serve the herb aioli as a dipping sauce for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a sauce for grilled meats.
