Lime Coriander Garlic Aoli

Condiments, when good, are the best things in the world for food... I came up with this to go with Tilapia, since it's such a bland fish. I like to spice up my flavors and go wild with them, so this was a perfect way to do it. This aoli (basically, a home-made mayo with garlic added), has the flavors of coriander seed, lime, parsley, thyme, and chives in it. The color is green, and the taste is delicious. I recommend using it on fish tacos, onion rings, and burgers, too!

3 egg yolks
5 cloves fresh garlic
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp lime juice (about 1/2 a lime)
2 tsp fresh lime zest (off the 1/2 lime from above)
2 Tbsp coriander seed
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp thyme
2 Tbsp chives
1 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

In your food processor, add all ingredients together, reserving the olive oil.

Blend, and slowly stream in olive oil until you get a nice emulsion going.

Add salt and pepper to taste, and blend for another minute or so.

This will keep in your fridge for about a week or so. It makes about 1 1/2 cups of aoli.

Enjoy!
