What is Aioli?
Garlic mayonnaise, a typical sauce from Provence, is used in some fish or vegetables recipes. Two things are important with Aioli: do not use an electric blender and add the olive oil very slowly to the mixture.

Aioli Sauce Recipe

Step 1: Put garlic cloves in a bowl. During several minutes, mash to get a very smooth mixture. Do not use an electric blender

Step 2: Add the egg yolk and 2 pinches of salt. Mash until the mixture is thick.

Step 3: Drop the olive oil very slowly and blend. Pound the mixture, while adding the lemon juice. The sauce must remain quite heavy. Add salt if needed.

Serving: you can keep aioli sauce up to 2 days if kept in a fridge. Stir before serving.
