Aioli From Cook's Illustrated | March/April 2014
by dwaldron1
Why this recipe works:
The garlic was our biggest challenge in getting the four primary ingredients to come together in our aioli recipe. We found that a fine, even mince maintained the smooth texture of the sauce and prevented oversize garlic bombs that exploded in the mouth. A good garlic press or a rasp-style zester/grater ensured an acceptable mince. We also scaled back the quantity of garlic in our aïoli recipe—a single clove provided a pleasant, not shocking, heat.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 4 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 each Garlic cloves ; minced to paste
- salt & white pepper ; to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
1. In large bowl, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Whisking ?constantly, very slowly drizzle oils into egg mixture until thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
AÏoli can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG: The sauce can taste overly harsh and bitter.
HOW WE FIXED IT: We minced a single clove of garlic to a paste on a rasp-style grater for an aÏoli with full but even garlic flavor and no harsh-tasting bits. A mix of vegetable and extra-virgin olive oils leads to clean flavor that’s still fruity.
