Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Chop garlic finely and pound in mortar with pinch of salt until smooth paste is made.

Add egg yolks and mix well.

Add oil, drop by drop at first, as you continue to mix; then in a steady slow stream until the mixture becomes glossy and begins to thicken. Continue until all the oil is used.

Add lemon juice to taste.

Aioli should have the consistency of loose mayonnaise. Serve with chicken, seafood, or vegetables.
