Basil Aioli - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic clove
2 coddled eggs
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Preparation
-
* to coddle the eggs, place whole egg (in the shell) into simmering water for 1 minute then remove and chill under cold running water. This is to make sure you have no salmonella in your yolk. You could use pasturized eggs, I suppose.
Place the garlic (finely chopped), egg yolks and dijon into a stainless steel bowl and whisk together.
whisk in the lemon juice.
in a slow stream, add in the olive oil, whisking constantly until it is fully incorporated. This will thicken as it is whisked, so add a bit of water along the way if it gets too thick.
Season with salt.
Stir in the basil (very finely chopped).
