Aioli

Servings:
8 Servings
Listed in Categories:
  • 4 Garlic cloves; mashed
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1/8 ts Salt
  • 1 c Olive oil
  • 1 ts Vinegar
  • 1 ts Fresh lemon juice
Beat eggs until very thick and lemon colored. Beat in mashed garlic and
salt. Beating constantly, add olive oil VERY SLOWLY -- literally drop by
drop. After about half the oil has been added and the mixture is
thickening, add vinegar and lemon juice. Then continue adding olive oil
slowly, beating until a thick emulsion is formed.
Aioli may be used as a garlicky alternative to mayonnaise, but is
delicious on its own as a sauce or dip for seafood or vegetables.
