Egg yolks, lemon juice and crushed garlic blended while olive oil is drizzled in slowly until thick.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 100 ml olive oil

Directions

  • Separate the eggs and keep only the yolks (save the whites for something else).
  • Blend the yolks in a food processor, then add the lemon juice.
  • Crush the garlic and add it.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • With the machine running, pour in the oil very slowly, a drop at a time at first, and keep the pace slow the whole way through.
  • When it thickens, taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Spoon into a bowl and serve.

Notes

If it splits, add another egg yolk and slowly drizzle in more oil. Safety: raw egg yolks (pasteurized eggs are safer for vulnerable people) and raw garlic in oil; keep refrigerated.
