Aioli, garlic mayonnaise, made in a blender
Elevate a meal with this flavoursome sauce.
Aioli is a creamy, rich, garlic-forward condiment traditionally found in French, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisine. In its purest form, authentic aioli is simply an emulsion of garlic and oil. The version most of us know and love (often served in restaurants) includes egg, and sometimes mustard, for added flavour and stability. Technically, that makes this blender version closer to a garlic mayonnaise… but whatever you call it, it’s absolutely delicious.
Made from scratch, this condiment is a world away from simply stirring crushed garlic into store-bought mayo. If you love garlic, this versatile sauce will elevate even the simplest meals. Toss it through salads or drizzle it over roasted vegetables, fish, fries, BLTs, burgers, and more.
The hallmark of aioli is, of course, garlic, and how much you use is entirely up to you. Start with one clove, then taste and adjust. Raw garlic is powerful, and its flavour intensifies over time, so a little goes a long way.
Like our homemade mayonnaise, aioli is an emulsion. While oil and water don’t naturally mix, high-speed blending breaks the liquid into tiny droplets, allowing it to combine smoothly with oil. Traditionally, this can be done by hand with a whisk but using the Vibe Blender System makes the process virtually fail-proof, bringing everything together in under a minute.
This method uses one whole egg plus an extra yolk. While many recipes rely on yolks alone, including the white increases the liquid volume, ensuring the blades stay fully immersed. This helps kickstart the emulsion as soon as the oil is slowly added, giving you a thick, creamy result every time.
How to store homemade garlic mayonnaise
Use it up! Because it contains raw egg, garlic mayonnaise has a short shelf life. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within five days. If using Luvele fresh vacuum seal containers, you can extend that time to around 10 days.
