Ingredients
-
1 large egg
-
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
-
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
3 large cloves garlic, or more to taste
-
1 ¼ cups olive oil
-
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons harissa paste
-
1 pinch ground cardamom
Directions
-
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and lower egg into the water. Simmer for 5 minutes until soft boiled. Remove from boiling water with a slotted spoon and hold under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Peel and allow egg to come to room temperature.
-
Place egg yolks in a small bowl and pour lemon juice on top; set aside.
-
Peel garlic cloves and remove and discard any green sprouts running through the middle. Add garlic cloves to a blender.
-
Place soft-boiled egg in the blender; season with salt and pepper. Drop in egg yolk-lemon juice mixture. Pulse a couple of times, then blend on low quickly, then blend on medium until smooth. Slowly add olive oil and blend at medium-high speed until an emulsion forms. When mixture has the consistency of mayonnaise, it is ready. Transfer aioli to a bowl; fold in harissa paste just until mixed.
-
Refrigerate until use. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cardamom before serving.
Cook’s Note
I like this aioli with a frittata, oven-fried potatoes, or just about anything!
It will last up to 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator.
