Aioli with Bread
Kick up a traditional Aioli recipe by adding bread. This Franco-inspired sauce can be served with seafood or vegetables.
Notes
VARIATION: Rouille; Add 1 peeled, seeded, roasted red pepper to Aioli recipe. Combine in blender or food processor with bread, garlic, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Follow the rest of the Aioli recipe.
VARIATION: Skordalia; Add 1/2 cup finely ground blanched almonds and 2 Tbsp chopped parsley to one Aioli recipe.
At a true Provencal feast, Aioli is served with mounds of boiled vegetables - leeks, cauliflower, green beans - boiled eggs, poached flaky salt-cod, and crusty French bread. Or the dip may accompany sea snails or bourride - a Provencal fish stew.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf white bread, thin sliced
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 egg yolks, large
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- salt
- white pepper
Instructions
1. Remove crust from bread- preferably Italian white bread. In a small bowl, combine bread and milk. Let soak 5 minutes. Squeeze the bread with your hands to get rid of any excess liquid.
2. Place bread, garlic, egg yolks, and lemon juice in blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process 10 seconds, or until completely smooth. With machine running, slowly drizzle in oil until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This Alioli with Bread recipe looks so easy to make. There's this restaurant called Alioli where I used to work in Canada and I enjoyed their pasta and alioli dressing. Hmmmm. Yummy.

I have made aioli before but never have I added in bread. I find this so strange but it obviously works. I can tell you that the aioli recipe I have made before only makes a little so I am sure that the addition of bread will substantially increase the amount of sauce which is a good thing. Aioli is great with fish.
