Calories: 1776kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 Cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle and smash it around until it is completely crushed, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and then the eggs. Slowly pour in about 1/2 of the olive oil, whisking as you go. This is important so it doesn’t separate. Add the lemon juice and whisk. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Once you have completely whisked in all the oil, whisk in the mayonnaise until you have a smooth consistency. Season with salt.
- Store in a glass container with lid for up to two days in the fridge.

Notes
I use a mortar and pestle for breaking up the garlic as you get the most flavour out that way. After I do that, I transfer the garlic to a largish bowl and whisk in the mustard. Remember, your eggs must be at room temperature. If not, the sauce will risk separating. So, when you take your eggs out of the fridge, separate the yolks from the whites and leave the yolks in a bowl to come to room temperature. This will take about 30 minutes. Once the eggs have reached room temperature, whisk them into the mustard and garlic. Whisk until it is slightly frothy. Now it it time to add about 1/2 of the olive oil. Do this slowly, and whisk as you pour. It is important to keep whisking, otherwise it may not set properly. Add your lemon juice and whisk it again. Then you slowly pour and whisk in the remaining olive oil. Finally, you whisk in the ingredient of all sins, mayonnaise. Season with salt and you are all done. Like I stated previously, mayonnaise is considered a cheating way of making alioli sauce, but sometimes we need to break tradition, right?
