Tarragon-Lemon Aioli
Tarragon-Lemon Aioli
Haven’t tried this yet, but it sounds delicious.
Ingredients:
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 Tbsp fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 cup olive oil
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Makes 1+ cup
Method:
Place garlic, tarragon and salt in a mortar. Begin pounding with the pestle until the ingredients start to form an emulsion. This will take several minutes.
Add the egg yolks. Continue to mix with the pestle (or, I use an electric beater to incorporate the egg and the rest of the ingredients).
Slowly add the olive oil, a few drops at a time, mixing continuously, until the oil is incorporated and and mixture has emulsified.
When you have a beautiful green mayonnaise, add the lemon juice and mix it in. Then refrigerate and let it rest for a while.
(Note* More lemon juice might be required)
Can be used as a dipping sauce for artichokes, a salad dressing, or an accompaniment to grilled or poached fish.
