Authentic Spanish Aioli

Why Make This Recipe

Aioli is a delicious garlic sauce that adds flavor to many dishes. This original white Spanish aioli is special because it doesn’t use eggs, making it lighter and suitable for people who avoid eggs. It’s easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients. Plus, it’s perfect for dipping, spreading, or drizzling over your favorite meals.

How to Make Aioli

To make this classic aioli, you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 1 clove of garlic
• 100 g milk
• 300 g neutral oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Start by placing the garlic clove into the mixing bowl and chop it at speed 8 for a few seconds. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides.
2. Add the butterfly attachment. Pour in the milk and add the salt.
3. Heat the mixture at 37°C for 2 minutes on speed 3.5.
4. Next, set the machine to speed 3.5 for about 10-15 minutes. During this time, slowly drizzle the oil onto the lid of the mixing bowl. Let it flow down in a thin stream, allowing it to combine with the mixture until you have a thick, white aioli.
5. If the aioli isn’t thick enough, simply add a bit more oil until you reach your desired consistency.

How to Serve Aioli

Aioli can enhance a variety of dishes. It’s perfect as a dip for fresh veggies, bread, or fries. You can also use it as a sauce for grilled meats or fish. Spread it on sandwiches for extra flavor or drizzle it over roasted vegetables. The creamy texture and rich garlic flavor will improve any meal!

How to Store Aioli

Store your homemade aioli in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3-5 days. Make sure to keep it covered to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.

Tips to Make Aioli

• Always use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
• Ensure your ingredients (milk and oil) are at room temperature before you start.
• If you want it to be spicier, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of lemon juice for an extra kick.
• Blend the oil slowly to achieve the right consistency; rushing can affect the texture.

Variation

You can experiment with flavors by adding herbs like basil or parsley for a green aioli. You can also try adding roasted red peppers for a sweet twist or a dash of paprika for a smoky flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use olive oil instead of neutral oil?
Yes, you can use olive oil, but be aware that it will change the taste of the aioli, giving it a stronger flavor.

2. What can I do if my aioli won’t thicken?
If your aioli doesn’t thicken, slowly drizzle in more oil while mixing until you achieve the desired consistency.

3. Is aioli vegan-friendly?
Yes, this aioli recipe is vegan-friendly since it doesn’t contain eggs. Enjoy it with any plant-based meal!
