Steps:
- Drape a kitchen towel over a small saucepan; set a small metal bowl over (this will hold bowl in place). Whisk egg yolk*, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons water in metal bowl to blend well. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in grapeseed oil, 1 teaspoonful at a time, until sauce is thickened and emulsified. Whisking constantly, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Stir in cayenne; season aioli with lemon juice, pepper, and salt.
HOMEMADE AIOLI RECIPE
Steps:
- In a small food processor or cup using an immersion blend, whisk together yolks, lemon juice and zest, and mustard. Pulse, scraping down the sides, until it becomes a pale yellow paste.
- While whisking or while the immersion blender is on, very slowly pour the oil into the yolk mixture. It should start to thicken and combine, but if it it does seperate, stop adding the oil and continue to whisk until it combines again, then resume the oil.
- When fully combine, add the garlic and salt, either giving a few more quick pulses or folding in by hand. If you plan to add chives or black pepper, fold them in as well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors marry.

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.

Aioli is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, fish, and sandwiches. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make aioli that is sure to impress your friends and family.
