Have you ever made a recipe that turned out perfect several times, then one day, FAIL? I guess everyone has a bad day in the kitchen. The last time I made this recipe, I had to restart it 2 more times after the initial start. It sounds a bit confusing. This is what happened, my ingredients started to separate. I did not want to waste my ingredients, organic egg yolks, and a cup of olive oil, plus I had used the last of my garlic! After fail number one, in a clean bowl I added one more egg yolk and started to whisk. I then started to drizzle in the first batch of ingredients that did not emulsify. This did not work, so I started again with another egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, in a clean bowl. When I got that mixed, I then added the previous mix drizzling a little in as I whisked with a mixer. It did save my my ingredients, but it did not thicken as it usually does. I put it in the fridge to chill till I needed it. This mix did get a bit thicker, but not as I have had results with in the past.
The aioli did prove to be very delicious with the oven potato wedges I prepared for dinner. I may add this recipe in the future, if I can make sure it is more stable. I would hate to pass on one that is questionable. Please check back in the future for this recipe.
Other things I have used this recipe on or with:
-corn on the cob
-oven potato wedges
