Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 ml aquafaba
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ¼ tsp mustard seeds *
  • ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp lemon juice **
  • ½ tsp sugar ***
  • 350 ml sunflower oil

Equipment

  • immersion blender
  • colander (strainer or sieve)

Method
 

  1. strain the chickpeas until you have 100 ml of aquafaba. put the aquafaba in a tall and narrow recipient (this is to make blending easier).
  2. add the garlic, salt, pepper, mustard seeds, chilli flakes, lemon juice, and sugar to the aquafaba.
  3. on low speed, blend this together until you have a foamy mixture.
  4. then, gradually start adding the sunflower oil whilst blending. when the aioli starts to thicken, move the blender up and down to incorporate all the oil.
  5. if you prefer a runnier aioli, use less oil. if you prefer a thicker aioli, use a little more oil.
  6. that's it! the aioli is done. use right away or store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

*instead of mustard seeds, feel free to use mustard. 
**you can substitute the lemon juice for vinegar. 
***would you rather not use any sugar? agave or maple syrup will also work.
