Aioli
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 fresh garlic cloves
- salt (about 1/2 tsp for this amount or to taste)
- 2 large egg yolks at room temperature
- extra virgin olive oil (about a cup)
Instructions
Place garlic and salt in a mortar and mash together with a pestle till it forms a smooth paste. Blend in the egg yolks, one at a time until the mixture is a smooth homogenious mass. Working very very slowly whisk in the olive oil, literally drop by drop, as you would while making mayonaise. When it is thick enough taste and add salt and pepper and optional lemon juice to taste.
