What You’ll Need
- 1 cup of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup of brown mustard seeds
- 3/4 cup of white wine vinegar
- 1 cup of cold water
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup of olive oil
- Fresh ground black pepper
Method
Step One
Start by combining 1 cup of Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of brown mustard seeds, 3/4 cup of white wine vinegar, 1 cup of cold water, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass container. Stir all the ingredients until they are well mixed.
Step Two
Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for about 48 hours. Ensure the mustard seeds have softened and the flavors developed.
Step Three
After the mixture has sat for 48 hours, transfer it to a blender. Add in 2 egg yolks, the minced cloves of garlic, and the juice of one lemon. Blend the mixture until smooth.
Step Four
While the blender is still running, slowly pour in 1 cup of olive oil in a steady stream. This would emulsify the oil and make your aioli creamy.
Step Five
Finally, season your Homemade Brown Mustard and Garlic Aioli with fresh ground black pepper to taste. Blend again until all the ingredients are well combined. Your aioli is now ready to serve!
Step Six
Store any leftover aioli in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should last for up to one week.
