Make your own Aioli
Aioli is a french, garlic based sauce often confused by non-french with Mayonnaise. It's goes great with seafood, chicken, meat, pasta, bread...actually it goes great with pretty much everything!
Ingredients
- 3 free-range/organic egg yolks
- 4 cloves garlic (chop really really small if you don’t have a food processor)
- ½ lemon, juice only
- salt and pepper
- 150ml/5fl oz extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder or Dijon mustard (optional)
Method
-
Blend all ingredients except mustard and olive oil, in a food processor.
-
Pour the oil into the blender in a steady stream, until it forms a thick sauce. This can also be done manually with a whisk.
-
The mixture when blended will be vibrant yellow in colour. To vary the flavour, add a little mustard or if you'd like your Aoili runnier, add a couple of tablespoons of hot water.
