Plant Based Aioli
AQUAFABA VEGAN AOILI
Ok let me explain what aquafaba is - it basically is the liquid that is in your can of chickpeas/beans, and there is some magic ingredient in this that when blended creates a thick creamy consi - it mimicks egg whites! It is quite magical!!
Who says vegans can’t have everything!?
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 - 1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 - 1 cup Hemp gold seed oil // or other neutral tasting oil
Juice 1/2 lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
DIRECTIONS
Using either a blender, a small food processor or a hand help immersion blender add the Aquafaba, mustard, apple cider vinegar and half of the sea salt and blend until combines.
Then on a very low setting slowly (and the key is slowly) add in the oil - if you add it to quickly the sauce will be too runny and won’t thicken up.
Then after about 2-3minutes and all the oil has been added, it should have thickened up and turned creamy. Add in the lemon juice, garlic clove and more salt if needed and blend until combined.
Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge, this will thicken it up a little more.
