Easy Basil Garlic Aioli

Easy Basil Garlic Aioli Recipe

I made this aioli to serve with crab cakes and a grilled fillet, but it can be used as a dipping sauce for meatballs, chicken tenders, wings, or spread for sandwiches.

Ingredients
1 cup Olive Oil (or whatever oil you have on hand!)
2 Eggs
4 Garlic Cloves
½ Fresh Lemon (Juice of)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
Salt & Pepper

Need: Immersion Blender

Directions
Step 1: In a tall, wide mouth mason jar or cylindrical container, pour in oil & 2 eggs.

Step 2: Add 4 peeled and roughly chopped garlic cloves, salt, pepper, juice of half a lemon & basil Leaves.

Step 3: Put the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar or container and turn it on. Draw blender up and down 2 or 3 times to draw air into the sauce and mix until smooth.

Step 4: Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed and mix 1 more time. Laurie’s Tip: If the aioli is too tangy for your taste, add 1/2 tsp. sugar to mellow out the tartness of the lemon.

Laurie’s Storage Tip: Keep refrigerated for 5-7 days.
