This tangy aioli makes an ideal dipping sauce for Steamed Artichokes or spread on toasted bread to jazz up a BLT.
What to buy: Green garlic is garlic that is harvested in the spring before the full bulb is allowed to develop. It looks similar to a thick scallion and has a strong garlic aroma but a mild flavor. Look for it at your farmers’ market from March to May.
Game plan: This recipe calls for a raw egg. While it’s perfectly safe for healthy adults to consume raw eggs, the elderly, pregnant women, or anyone with a delicate immune system should not.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green garlic (white and green parts only)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/3 cups vegetable or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine egg, garlic, and mustard in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Process until mixture is evenly combined.
- With the processor running, slowly add oil in a thin stream until completely combined, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
