Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise see note
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil see note
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic grated or pressed (1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 truffle minced – optional garnish (see note)
Instructions
- Whisk the mayo, truffle oil, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Optional: If using a fresh truffle, grate it finely or mince it on a cutting board. Then sprinkle on top of the aioli.
- Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- Mayonnaise: For the best flavor, try to use homemade mayo or real mayonnaise, avoiding mayo alternatives. Regular mayo produces the creamiest flavor, but you can use reduced fat in a pinch. If you don’t have mayo, you can substitute sour cream or thick Greek yogurt.
- Truffle Oil: Whenever possible, I recommend using truffle oil such as Eataly’s flavored with real truffles. Alternatively, you can make your own by heating 1 sliced truffle in 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil for 10 minutes over low heat.
- Truffle: You can use either a minced white or black truffle as an optional garnish.
Make Ahead: Truffle aioli will last 2-3 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
