Vegan Olive Oil Aioli Recipe

Aioli, an aromatic garlic cream, is a culinary delicacy with deep-rooted tradition. Originally from the Mediterranean region, it has established itself as a versatile accompaniment worldwide. In Spanish cuisine, for example, it is a popular companion to tapas, while in Arabic cuisine it is known as Toum and is considered an essential ingredient for shawarma. A special feature of aioli is its wonderful compatibility with olive oil, which gives the dip a rich and smooth consistency. For this recipe, we recommend the high-quality olive oil from Jegit - Pour La Vie to maximize the authentic taste and quality. The use of this special oil gives the aioli an incomparable note and is an absolute must for gourmets.

• 1 tbsp light vinegar
• 60 ml soy drink
• 250 ml olive oil from Jegit - Pour La Vie
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp sugar or honey (optional)
• 1 pinch of salt

Note: It is important that all ingredients are at room temperature. This is a crucial factor that is often overlooked but essential for the success of the aioli.

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the peeled garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, soy drink, Dijon mustard, sugar, and a pinch of salt well.
