Chef's Notes

The key to Aioli is to make sure the eggs and lemon mixture covers the blades.

Ingredients

  • (3 large) pasteurized egg yolks
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) fresh lemon juice
  • (1 teaspoon) salt, optional
  • (⅛ teaspoon) ground white pepper
  • (3 medium) garlic cloves, peeled
  • 360 ml (1½ cup) light olive oil

Directions

  1. Place egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, salt, optional, white pepper, and garlic into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
  2. Start the blender on its lowest speed and increase speed to Variable 6.
