Recipe Not For Vampires
So after watching Anthony Bourdain: no Reservations show on Provence, i really wanted to make aioli. Aioli is a french sauce that's an emulsion of ground garlic and olive oil. Most people describe it as mayonnaise but its very different. It has the bite of the garlic and a smother texture because of the olive oil being dripped in slowly. Its a very traditional Provence recipe and is most commonly served with steamed or boiled vegetables and possible fish.
You will need:
A few cloves of fresh garlic (anywhere from 3 to 5 for a small batch),
2 egg yolks,
and lots of olive oil.
Start by placing the garlic in a mortar and grinding it with pestle (can also been done in a blender). Then incorporate the two egg yolks, after separating. Then slowly, incorporate the olive oil while stirring constantly.
