How to Fix Broken Aioli

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, Amanda coaches us through fixing broken aioli.

We've all been there: enthusiastically whisking aioli or mayonnaise, with high hopes for the finished product, and the emulsion breaks. What was supposed to be a real treat, one of the best things you can eat (as our friend Tamar Adler says), is just a messy bowl of separated oil and yolks.

It's a sad situation. It can make you feel like giving up on making it yourself.

But don't do that! It can be fixed. And Amanda's showing us how, because homemade aioli is something we should never give up on.
