Homemade aioli is one of the easiest and most versatile recipes to have on hand!

Originating from Spain and France, the word 'aioli' is a compound of the words 'garlic' and 'oil' (being two of the main ingredients in aioli).

Whether you're serving it as an accompaniment to your favourite fish or seafood recipe (it's my favourite dipping sauce for cooked prawns!), with chicken, pork or cooked vegetables (like potato or sweet potato chips), this creamy garlic aioli is always a favourite!

Equipment Required

This entire Thermomix Aioli recipe is made using the Thermomix machine!

TIP: If you don't have a Thermomix, you can use a blender or food processor instead.

Step By Step Instructions

Just 5 minutes and 3 simple steps is all it takes to make aioli in your Thermomix!

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

Step 1 - Mince The Garlic

Place the garlic clove into the Thermomix machine and mix until very finely grated.

TIP: Scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through.

Step 2 - Combine The Ingredients

Insert the Butterfly attachment.

Add the egg yolk, mustard and lemon juice to the garlic.

Season with salt and pepper.

Heat for 1 minute (see recipe card below for details).

Remove the Butterfly attachment.

Step 3 - Add The Oil

While the blades are turning on Speed 4, VERY SLOWLY drizzle the oil through the MC hole (it should take 3 minutes to slowly drizzle the oil in).

After the 3 minutes, increase to Speed 5 for a further 1 minute.

TIP: It's important to add the oil very slowly so that it can emulsify with the ingredients.

Expert Tips

• For a stronger garlic flavour, use 1 full clove instead of ½ clove. You can also use store-bought minced garlic if you don't have fresh cloves.
• Choose a mild flavoured oil (such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or grape seed oil).
• If you don't have a Thermomix machine, you can use any brand of Thermal cooker, or a food processor/blender.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2 days.
