Five Napkin Burger Aioli

(14)
Dale DeGroff's Martini
Yield:
1 cup

Use this aioli to make chef Andy D'Amico's incredible Five Napkin Burger.

Ingredients

  • cup olive oil

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • Coarse salt

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place both oils in a small saucepan with rosemary. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately remove from heat and let stand overnight; strain, discarding solids.

  2. Coarsely chop garlic, and gather into a pile; sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place flat side of knife blade on top of garlic, with sharp side of blade away from you; press down firmly while pulling knife toward you to create a paste; set aside.

  3. In a medium nonreactive bowl, whisk egg yolk until light in color. Whisk in garlic paste and whisk in infused oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified. As the sauce thickens, add 1 teaspoon water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, to thin out. Whisk in lemon juice; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
