Spanish Alioli
Spanish Alioli Recipe by Lisa and Tony Sierra from The Spruce Eats.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: N/A
Serving size: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large cloves of garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more, to taste
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Peel and mince the garlic.
- Using the flat side of a large knife, crush the garlic.
- Crush the garlic and salt into a paste. (Save time by using a garlic press that peels and mashes the garlic in one step.)
- Crack the eggs and separate the yolks into a small mixing bowl.
- Transfer the garlic paste to the bowl and whisk to blend.
- With a hand mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream until a creamy sauce begins to form.
- Add the touch of lemon juice slowly at the end, while keeping the mixer on to ensure that the sauce stays smooth.
- Serve with fish, as a condiment for your favorite sandwich, or as a dipping sauce for French fries. Enjoy.
