Cilantro Lime Aïoli

This aiolo pairs beautifully with Thai Turkey Burgers, and serves as an excellent accent. When adding the oil to the mixture, make sure you add it slowly to help ensure you encorporate enough air into the mixture. If mixture separates, stop adding oil and continue whisking until mixture comes together, then resume adding oil.

Yield:

Makes 1/2 cup

Ingredients

1. 2 garlic cloves
2. 1 large egg yolk
3. Juice of half a lime
4. 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6. 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
7. Handful of Cilantro
8. Kosher Salt

Directions

1. Mash garlic and cilantro together in a Mortar and Pestle with a pinch of Kosher Salt until thoroughly combined into a paste. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a bowl. Combine oils and add, a few drops at a time, to yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified.
3. Whisk in garlic and cilantro paste and season with salt and pepper. If aïoli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
