Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise

I have had this roasted garlic mayonnaise at a local restaurant and loved it. It took me four times to perfect it and get it right but here it is. This is great with a grilled artichoke.

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup water
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
• 1 small lemon, juiced
• 1 large head garlic

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut just below the tip side of the head of garlic, exposing all of the cloves, but keeping the head intact. Place the head of garlic in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil. Pour olive oil liberally over the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cover completely and wrap with aluminum foil, making a cup of sorts.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven on the top rack, until golden brown and softened, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Squeeze the pulp out of the garlic into a glass mixing bowl. Add egg yolks, minced garlic, water, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the mixture until as smooth as possible, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add olive oil in a continuous stream, whisking the entire time, until emulsified and mixture has a thickened consistency like mayonnaise.
