Thermomix Aioli
This creamy Aioli is made quickly in the Thermomix. Use it as a dip for French fries or as the base of a burger or wrap.
Servings: 1 ΒΌ cups
Ingredients
- 2 small garlic cloves, peeled, note 1
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus a little extra depending on taste
- 2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard, note 2
- 250 mls light olive oil, note 3
Instructions
- Add the garlic to the Thermomix bowl and chop for 3 sec/speed 8. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and chop again for 3 sec/speed 8.
- Add the egg yolks, lemon juice and wholegrain mustard to the mixing bowl.
- Set the Thermomix to run for 2 minutes at speed 4. Very slowly, add the olive oil through the hole in the mixing bowl lid. If there is some olive oil left, extend the time. Adding the oil slowly is essential, as too fast can cause the Aioli to separate. (If this happens, see the recipe post on how to fix a broken Aioli).
- Add seasoning and more lemon juice, if desired.
- Store the Aioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
1. Garlic: If you have time, roast the garlic first. Roasted garlic offers a more mellow and sweet flavour compared to raw garlic.
2. Wholegrain mustard: This can be substituted for Dijon mustard.
3. Light olive oil: This can be substituted for sunflower oil. Extra virgin olive oil can produce a bitter-tasting Aioli.
