Ingredients
2 small garlic cloves
Coarse salt
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons grainy Dijon mustard
1/2 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons water, plus about 3 teaspoons, room temperature
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Using the side of a chef’s knife, mash garlic and 1/8 teaspoon salt into a paste.
Pulse egg yolks and mustard in a food processor. With machine running, add enough canola oil, drop by drop, until mixture begins to emulsify (about 1/3 of the canola oil). Add remaining canola oil in a very thin, steady stream; as mixture thickens, add 1 tablespoon water. Continue blending, and add olive oil (and as much water as needed to create a smooth, light consistency). Transfer to a bowl. Stir in garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt.
