Method
Garlic base
- Crush the garlic to a paste with the salt using the side of a knife or a mortar.
- Whisk the egg with the garlic paste and lemon juice until smooth.
Emulsify
- Whisking constantly, add oil drop by drop until the mixture thickens, then in a thin stream until all oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick and pale.
- Taste; add lemon or salt if needed. If too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of cold water. Serve cool.
Serving
Serve with fish, chips, grilled vegetables or as a sandwich spread.
