Equipment

  • immersion blender

Ingredients
 

  • 2/3 cup olive oil Note: use extra virgin olive oil for a more pronounced olive oil flavor.
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature Note: I use pasteurized eggs for safety. They have been heated just enough to kill off any potential harmful bacteria so they are completely safe to eat without cooking.
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • pinch salt, or to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a wide mouthed jar that will just fit the head of your immersion blender. Do not use a bowl or other wider container for this, it's important to use a vessel that just fits your immersion blender.

  • Put the head of the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar, turn it on. Keep the head of the blender at the bottom of the jar until your aioli starts to emulsify, then gently move it up and down and around until the entire mixture is emulsified and quite thick. That's it!

  • Give your aioli a stir and taste to see if you'd like to adjust the salt or lemon juice.

  • Keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. The aioli will thicken further as it chills.
