Once you master a basic aioli, you’ll find yourself adding different flavors (you can mix in herbs, spices, chilies, etc.) to suit the needs of so many savory dishes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 1¼ cups

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
¾ tsp salt
2 egg yolks
¾ cup canola oil

Preparation


  1. Place the garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt and egg yolks in a blender. Blend on low, then slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin line to emulsify. Be careful not to add to much at once, as this will break the emulsion. Loosen with 1 tablespoon of water to reach the desired consistency. This mayo can be kept for up to 1 week in a resealable plastic container or squeeze bottle.

Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
Île Flottante
Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Spicy Tinned Tuna Tostadas
Made with tinned fish and topped with mango and avocado, these vibrant tostadas won't break the bank.
Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
Creamy and bright with just a subtle bit of heat, this five-ingredient, make-ahead dip is ready for company—just add crudités.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Chopped Salad With Sardines and Preserved Lemon
A feel-good meal full of crunchy veg and even crunchier pita chips.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
