Garlic Aioli

Mayonnaise is something I though that we had left behind when we changed our diet, but it does not need to be the case. Mayonnaise (of which Aioli is a variation) is a simple mix of eggs and oil. This Garlic Aioli recipe is delicious with sweet potato fries or used as a spread.

Ingredients

  • 3 garlic cloves (less if you like it less garlicky)
  • 1 large egg (preferably organic)
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 150ml olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the garlic, egg, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper in a blender
  2. Blend all of the ingredients, starting on a slow speed while you add the olive oil to avoid spattering it all around your .kitchen
  3. Add the olive oil while the blender is running in a slow stream. You will need to leave off  the cap of the blender in order to be able to do this while the blender is running.
  4. Put the cap back on the blender and turn up the speed. Blend the aioli until it has formed into thick emulsion.
  5. Serve the sweet potato fries, with the Garlic Aioli.

Garlic Aioli with sweet potato fries

Sweet potato chips (fries) cooked in our Air Fryer has become a regular feature of our meals. This weekend we were looking for something different to spice them up, and decided to make Garlic Aioli at home using all natural ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 3 garlic cloves (less if you like it less garlicky)
  • 1 large egg (preferably organic)
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 150ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Coconut Oil
  • Pinch of Sea Salt

Directions

  1. Cut the Sweet Potatoes into chips (fries) shapes and put into a bowl.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tsp of coconut oil over the bowl of fries and toss them to coat in the coconut oil.
  3. Add to the Air Fryer basket and cook at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, place the garlic, egg, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender
  5. Using the metal blade of the foodprocessor (rather than the plastic one) blend all of the ingredients
  6. Add the olive oil while the blender or foodprocessor is running in a slow stream. You will probably need to take the shoot out of the foodprocessor, or leave the cap off the blender in order to be able to add the oil while the foodprocessor is running.
  7. Blend the aioli until it has formed into thickened emulsion.
  8. Serve the sweet potato fries, with the Garlic Aioli.
