Basil Aioli

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

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

Recipe

• 1 * 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.
• 2 place the garlic (finely chopped), egg yolks and dijon into a stainless steel bowl and whisk together.
• 3 whisk in the lemon juice.
• 4 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.
• 5 season with salt.
• 6 stir in the basil (very finely chopped).
