Ingredients

2 Egg yolks
1 Clove garlic
1 cup Canola oil
1 Pinch sugar
1 tablespoon Chopped gherkins
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1
Mince the garlic clove finely and place it in a mixing bowl along with the egg yolks and pinch of sugar.
2
Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes pale and slightly thickened.
3
While whisking constantly, begin adding the canola oil drop by drop to start forming the emulsion.
4
Once the sauce thickens, you can gradually increase the flow of oil to a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk.
5
Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the sauce is creamy and stable.
6
Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavor and adjust the consistency if needed.
7
Fold in the chopped gherkins for texture and a tangy crunch.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately or chill.
