Ingredients for Sage Aioli
- Unsalted Butter
- Fresh Sage Leaves

Girl Carnivore Expert Recipe Tips
- We use fresh sage for a robust, earthy flavor. You could use dried sage, but skip the toasting process.
- When you make the aioli, start with a small amount of the sage mixed into your homemade mayo. Taste and adjust by adding more to achieve the right balance.
How to Use
This is amazing on a veal burger with sweet potato fries. But we also love it on all sorts of things, particularly in the fall, to liven up any dish just like our compound butter recipes.
Add this as a dipping sauce, not just for French fries, but for any roasted vegetable like baby broccoli, roasted butternut squash, or asparagus. Plate it with sheet pan chicken for a vibrant pop of flavor on an otherwise basic dish. Or take basic panko crusted chicken or shake-and-bake pork chops to a whole new level.
It’s great on a pork sandwich piled high with shaved roasted pork loin or even with oven-roasted pork tenderloin. Try it with sous vide rack of lamb or ground turkey meatballs in a creamy soup.
How to Store Lemon and Sage Aioli
Store leftover aioli in a glass jar or airtight container for up to 7 days in the refridgerator. Because this homemade sage-infused mayo uses fresh herbs, we find it loses its brightness after 4 days, so it’s best served fresh. Give it a stir before serving.
Do not try freezing aioli as it will split in as it freezes and thaws, ruining the creamy texture that makes it so good.

Fry the sage
-
Start by heating the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the sage and fry until just crispy, about 15 to 20 seconds.
-
Remove from heat and let the sage dry on a paper towel lined plate.
Make the aioli
-
In your food processor, add the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, and vinegar.
-
Season with a pinch of salt and pulse to mix two to three times.
-
Set the food processor to spin and slowly pour in the oil from the top.
-
The egg and oil will combine and turn off white, emulsifying into mayonnaise.
-
Spoon in the sage and the lemon zest.
-
Pulse a few more times to combine.
-
Spoon into a resealable jar and chill until ready to use.
If it becomes too thick, use a ½ teaspoon cold water to thin it out.
