Garlic and Olive Oil Mayonnaise Recipe

Garlic and Olive Oil Mayonnaise Recipe

  • 3 large garlic cloves, peeled
  • Coarse Salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
  1. Combine the garlic cloves with the coarse salt in a mortar and pestle and work the mixture to a smooth paste; then add the egg yolks and the lemon juice or vinegar and slowly work in the olive oil.
  2. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, make the mayonnaise in a bowl: chop the garlic and crush it on the cutting board with the side of a chef's knife, put it in a bowl with the egg yolks, lemon juice or vinegar, and slowly stir in the olive oil with a wooden spoon.
  3. If the mayonnaise starts to thicken so much that it's difficult to work, thin it with a tablespoon of water.
