Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 extra-large egg yolk
1/2 cup grape-seed oil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic
1/4 cup pitted black oil-cured olives, such as Nyons
1/2 lemon, for juicing
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the egg yolk in a stainless-steel bowl. Begin whisking in the grape-seed oil drop by drop, as slowly as you can bear. Continue in this manner, following with the olive oil, as the mixture thickens. Once the mayonnaise has emulsified, add the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking all the time. If the mixture gets too thick and is difficult to whisk, add a drop or two of water.
  • Pound the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt with a mortar and pestle. Add half the olives, and pound to a paste. Roughly chop the remaining olives. Fold the garlic-olive paste and the chopped olives into the mayonnaise. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the cayenne pepper. Taste for balance and seasoning. If the aïoli seems thick and gloppy, thin it with a little water; this will also make it creamier.

I found that this aioli was a bit too thin for my liking. I added a bit more mayonnaise and that helped to thicken it up. Other than that, it was very tasty.

This aioli was a bit too garlicky for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was very good and I would definitely make it again.

I added a bit of chopped fresh rosemary to my aioli and it was divine! The rosemary added a wonderful herbal flavor that really complemented the black olives.
