Aioli
- 1 extra-large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1/2 lemon, for juicing
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- Place the yolk in a stainless steel bowl.
- Begin whisking in the grapeseed oil drop by drop.
- Once the mixture has thickened and emulsified, you can whisk in the remaining grapeseed and olive oils in a slow steady stream.
- If the mixture gets too thick, add a drop or two of water.
- Pound the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt with a mortar and pestle.
- Whisk the garlic paste into the aioli.
- Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the cayenne.
- Taste for balance and seasoning.
- If the aioli seems thick and gloppy, thin it with a little water.
- In addition to thinning the aioli, this will also make it creamier.
