Ingredients

2 cloves Garlic, minced with a pinch of Salt
1 large Egg yolk
2 tsp Lemon Juice, fresh
½ tsp Creole or Dijon Mustard
¼ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
3 tbs Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Mise en place

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.
Separate egg yolk from egg white. Reserve egg white if you can use it for another use.
Portion lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, vegetable oil.

Put it together

Whisk together yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a bowl.
Combine oils and add, a few drops at a time, to yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified. (If mixture separates, stop adding oil and continue whisking until mixture comes together, then resume adding oil.)
Whisk in garlic paste and season with salt and pepper.
If aïoli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water.
Chill covered, until ready to use.
