Lemon and Tarragon Aioli

So what is Aioli exactly?

Well basically it’s a mayonnaise with a healthy hit of garlic ……. but we think Aioli sounds way more sexy!

Once you’ve mastered this super easy and versatile side dish you’ll be hooked.  There are also plenty of different flavour variations you can add to your aioli base, so don’t be afraid to get creative!

INGREDIENTS:

2 egg yolks – free range
200m EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) we like using Gwydir Grove
2 tsp dijon mustard
5 tarragon leaves
2 garlic cloves – organic crushed into a paste
1 lemon juice and 1/2 lemon zest
1 tsp white wine vinegar
Salt & Pepper

AIOLI:

  1. place 2 egg yolks into a mixing bowl along with 2 tsp of dijon mustard – whisk until light and fluffy
  2. slowly drizzle in the EVOO – ensuring that you fully combine the EVOO before you add any more EVOO
  3. once all the oil is in – drizzle and whisk in and the lemon zest, juice and white wine vinegar – add the crushed garlic and season generously with salt and pepper
  4. add 5 finely chopped tarragon leaves – check the seasoning, you may want the lemon and tarragon to stand out more, so you may like to add extra
  5. place the aioli in a serving bowl and put it in the fridge until ready to serve

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  1. the tarragon and lemon will work really well with chicken straight off the BBQ or pork and most fish or shellfish
  2. perfect for serving with fish & chips
  3. awesome served with chicken and lettuce sandwiches or crispy deep fried chicken
  4. substitute the tarragon for basil or sorrel and serve tempura or pan-fried prawns
  5. substitute the lemon for lime and the tarragon for coriander and serve with pan-fried salmon or trout
  6. substitute the lemon for lime and the tarragon for basil and serve with freshly peeled prawns
  7. all the above flavour combinations would also work beautifully with beef
  8. make up your own flavour combinations, just make sure you have enough citrus to balance the richness of the egg yolks

TIPS:

  1. keep the aioli in the fridge until you are ready use it
  2. as the aioli is made with raw eggs, it has a maximum fridge life of 3 days
  3. please keep the aioli in the fridge

My love of fresh seasonal produce shared and enjoyed around a big table with family and friends started as a young girl for me, and it's a love that has stayed with me my whole life. I am inspired to write recipes that are produce driven, recipes that enhance and showcase fresh local seasonal produce, created to be shared with family and friends. After all great food should be celebrated!
