Blue Jam Garlic Aioli
Ingredients
For the Mayonnaise Base:
- 2 Large egg yolks
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp Salt
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
For the Blue Jam Aioli:
- 2-4 tbsp Blueberry jam (or any blue-skinned fruit jam, like blackberry or black currant)
- 2-3 Cloves fresh garlic (minced or grated)
- 1-2 tbsp Lemon juice
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
Prepare the Mayonnaise Base:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. (Take your time to ensure a creamy, stable mayo.)
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the Blue Jam:
- Gently stir in 2–4 tablespoons of blueberry jam (start with less and adjust to taste).
Balance the Flavors:
- Add the minced garlic and lemon juice, mixing thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or lemon juice as needed.
Final Blend:
- For an extra-smooth consistency, blend the aioli with an immersion blender or food processor for a few seconds.
Notes
- Experiment with different jams (blackberry or black currant) for unique flavor profiles.
- Adjust the garlic and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve fresh for the best texture and flavor.
