Quick Aioli

Back to the Sauces Index

Take everything out of the fridge and let it come up to room temperature before you start, or it won't come together.

Put the garlic in a tall measuring jug with the egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and several large pinches of salt. Blitz with a stick blender for 30 seconds, then, still blending, slowly start adding the olive oil in a thin, steady trickle.

After a minute, increase the trickle to a thin stream, continuing to blend. Once you have poured in all the olive oil, pour in the vegetable oil, now in a thicker stream, until combined.

Taste and add more lemon juice or salt, if needed. Transfer it to a serving bowl, then put it in the fridge.
