Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your aioli. Use fresh garlic, good olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.
  • Make sure the garlic is finely minced: This will help the garlic to blend smoothly into the aioli.
  • Use a food processor or immersion blender: This will help you to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Add the oil slowly: Drizzle the olive oil into the aioli very slowly, while the food processor or immersion blender is running. This will help to emulsify the oil and prevent the aioli from separating.
  • Taste the aioli as you go: Season the aioli to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You may also want to add other herbs or spices, such as parsley, cilantro, or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the aioli chill before serving: Chilling the aioli for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make it even more creamy.
