By TNTPayne

Good for dipping your Beer Battered Fried Cheese Curds

Ingredients

• 12 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 1 Tbs. lemon juice
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
• Smoked paprika to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. All ingredients should be at room temperature.

2. In a blender or food processor, place egg and chopped garlic. Whirl until garlic is smooth.

3. With the motor running, add the oil in a slow stream, until the sauce is thick and emulsified.

4. Add the lemon juice and salt.

5. Season to taste with smoked paprika.

The sauce should be creamy and will have a nice garlic bite. If the aioli is runny, this may mean the egg was old. To fix this problem, either try again with a fresher egg or add store-bought mayonnaise to the sauce
