The real allioli is made without the egg, the name tells the ingredients, all (garlic) i oli (oil). When you use egg to do it, it turns into a garlic mayonese. Either way it's delicious

[@petapatopato]

Village tip: you can freeze the garlic to remove the power and it has a better flavor. PS: do not use egg, you can use salt grains to help the garlic being smashed and vinegar (only a bit) at the beginning to create a better paste smashing them. Some people use bread with vinegar for the same effect but it is an overkill.

Thanks chef. I kinda didnt pay attention to the lemon juice amount and kinda messed it up but then saved it. Didnt want to use even nore garlic cloves, so i ended up just adding some garlic powder and a bit more salt, both to combat the strong lemon flavour and saved it. Its super good!

[@BouncingTribbles]

fun fact: garlic is an emulsifier. You can make aioli with just oil and garlic. The extra ingredients definitely cut the intense garlic taste nicely for use as a sauce, but I like using my mortar and pestle to make a quick aioli for every day use in general cooking. Garlic Emulsion often spreads the flavour I'm looking for better than plain garlic. edit: I looked and saw how many people have already said this, lol, great video

A Spanish speaking video Chef? Can't wait to see that I'll be watching that after this!!!! This is an awesome Aioli Sauce recipe and I was most excited to see how you fixed the split sauce. How long did you have to whisk this deliciousness by hand to get it to look like that? I've made my own mayonaise before but only ever done it using a stick blender.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

haha yes i did one video in Spanish and its not the same as speaking in person. to make it by hand only take a minute not that long, but you do have to work a bit! haha

[@isaiah513623]

[@SergioSoaresRibeiro]

You can do this with no eggs. Just garlic and olive oil and a mortar and pestle. No need for eggs. And also no whisk. Just pound the garlic with some salt to help to make it into a paste and add oil. Use the pestle and just swirl it and it will come together. It has a much cleaner taste but you will have to use a lot less. If you do it like this, you get a garlic flavor mayo. Witch is great, but not quite the same. I would paste the garlic though (using a bit of salt and the side of the knife) just not to get bits of garlic

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Yes but many people don't like eating a lot of raw garlic, it can be very strong. They do have ajo perejil which is a garlic and parsley sauce that's not emulsified. To get an emulsification easily, which makes many sauces and dressings creamy, eggs are normally used as they are a good binder, I have seen some make it with milk but that's a bit tricky.

[@SergioSoaresRibeiro]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Yes, you do have a point. I've tried that ajo perejil sauce, is quite good. Never had it before. Do you happen to know how long it keeps?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

@@SergioSoaresRibeiro three to four days is a good rule of thumb in the fridge so if the parsley starts turning bad it's definitely time to throw it out

[@SergioSoaresRibeiro]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Thank you. I did mine recently to try the paella recipe you made on another video (witch turned out great for me, but not good for an español -so socorat, I didnt want to burn it) and I used it on grilled fish and also on some bocadillos. Thanks for the reply

[@lollertoaster]

Thanks, I'll try that next time. I made a garlic mayo the same way like in this video because I made way too much mayonnaise and it keeps only 2 days in the fridge, people on the internet were giving me flak for calling it aioli.

Here in Lebanon our Garlic sauce is made with only garlic and oil and a pinch of salt, with a drizzle of lemon juice to make it a bit more white. What do you think of it?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

i have had it before and its good!

[@lluisg.8578]

As your sauce the traditional "all i oli" also only have garlic and oil

[@NaimadLoL]

I make my vegan „Aioli“ with oil, soymilk, lemonjuice, garlic and a tiny bit of mustard. I think the soymilk and mustard work the same as eggs, easier emulsifying.

[@MichaelMassicks]

Thanks for sharing James, one question I tried this the other day using extra virgin olive oil and the flavour of the oil over powered the garlic and mayonaise. I guess it was my selection of oil? I live in Spain would their be an oil you would recommend for this recipe?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

extra virgin olive oil has a much stronger flavor than normal olive oil, you can use sunflower but it is not has healthy

[@sidoniemany2339]

I like mayo, I always have some, it's my butter and sauce for savory sandwiches, grilled and fried meat and fishes. Mayo is dead to me. Welcome into my life aioli !!!! Plus thanks for the split sauce tip. I tried to make mayo once, that is why I never made it after that one time.

I plan on putting this on some caribou burgers tonight, and looking forward to it. I had to watch the Spanish version as well and enjoyed it quite a bit for not speaking the language. You seem quite fluent though and I can appreciate and respect that. On the subject of the aïoli though, do you think that I could infuse some olive oil with some garlic on the stove top. Sieve out the solid garlic and then use that garlic infused olive oil to make the mayonnaise? Or is throwing in whole garlic going to bet me the best flavor and best end product.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you very much! you could but there's no reason to do that. you could also used cooked garlic if you don't want such a strong flavor or then again use a very very small amount of garlic if you don't want that overpowering flavor.

I tried using mortar and pestle and failed miserably. Did not use egg yolks because some sources claim that egg turns it into a mayonnaise. I think I added too much oil too fast. But even though it broke to components I can still use it for salads:)

[@lokichaosgod10]

Recommend adds roasted garlic instead tablespoon of cayenne pepper Dash of Worcestershire brings to crazy level especially if using on burgers or steak sandwiches

[@ragupasta]

Aioli is something a always bring home when visiting Spain. I can get it around where I live but it is not as good. I have a question: After you minced your garlic, I saw a lot of juice left behind on the chopping block. Would it be better to use a mincer in this case? Or perhaps add an extra clove to account for that? (personally I prefer the chop rather than using a garlic mincer)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Depends on how strong you want it to be. if its not enough add more.

[@derkommissar3015]

Would using Dijon as the emulsifier work? Or perhaps a combination of oil and mustard?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Mustard is an emulsifier but I'm trying to make this as basic as possible, I've had Cooks even after showing them how to make an emulsification not be able too.

[@neeleneeleambarpar2151]

Hi, my aioli was super runny and not visibly separated. Two yolks and half as much oil. Would it be possible for you to help me out here? Thanks!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

If you are having trouble to emulsify you may want to use a hand blender or do it by hand and follow the recipe. If it has not split then keep adding oil until it starts to thicken. If it splits you have to start again.

[@tzitz0nc]

Hi. There's a few extra rules to avoid getting running mayo, according to Romanian kitchen grandma advice. You need to stir clockwise OR counterclockwise. Never change the direction. If you change the direction, you do it at your own peril. Do not add oil in greater quantities than the mayo accepts - meaning it needs to be gradual, and if it starts being too liquid, you immediately need to stir that in super drive fast mode, and for sure don't add as much oil next round. Thirdly, all ingredients need to be at similar temperature, ideally room temperature. And fourthly, this is just a trick depending on your taste - raw eggs make for a more greasy mayo. If you're not into that, start with 1 boiled egg yolk (crunch it) and 1 raw egg yolk. If you use this boiled egg, make sure it's room temperature. It's much less gross for me personally, using this version. And p.s. Most important of all! never ever let any water get in from your hands or anything around while you're stirring mayo. Ever! That's what grandma and mom taught me, and they were definitely right on this water thing

[@ReubenVictoor]

I really love the taste of this, but can't manage to get the garlic minced enough where there's not bits of garlic sitting in the sauce. Been really enjoying your cooking videos, Chef. Discovered you from the viral reaction videos and now I've been bingewatching your instructions! Not sure if you take requests, but I'd enjoy seeing a reaction video to some of chef jean-pierre's videos on youtube. He's very entertaining, but I have some doubts whether his skill is really that of a professional!

[@theonlythingIsay]

Because you are not supposed yo mince it, you have to smash it at the beginning with a little bit of salt. The salt will help you to break the garlic fibers and create a garlic paste

[@chubayhanley848]

Use just garlic chopped up and salt in a mortar pestle. When it’s crushed up pretty fine add your oil and you’re Gucci (add some lemon juice/zest to that too)

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I would use a mix of light olive oil and extra virgin olive oil.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

extra virgin olive oil will give it a lot of flavor!

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@ChefJamesMakinson But because I don’t want the ajoli to be too overpowering, I would use the light olive oil and EVOO mix (like I said earlier).

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

The restaurants here use sunflower oil with the aïoli and it's okay, the normal olive oil that we have here is not the same that we have in the US. Different qualities, brands, Etc. Try it and if it's too strong, try another oil. But the extra virgin that we have here is very strong, it has a lot of flavor.

How about roasting the garlic..then squeezing that into the aili

[@lluisg.8578]

Thanks James for spreading the catalan cuisine. Would have been better to use the real name "All i oli", no reason to change it. Then as many said no eggs are used in the traditinal recipe, although many people uses them as makes the work way easier. Most of the times no lemon is added too. These two ingredients make the recipe be more close to a "maonesa" or "ajonesa" (maonesa with garlic). I always prefer that the traditional recipe is explained or to note the changes to the audience. Otherways many people will have a misconception of the real dish.
