Homemade natural Aioli

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic

1 egg yolk

150ml extra virgin olive oil

warm water

lemon juice

salt & pepper

Method:

Pound the garlic to a paste with a mortar and pestle (approx 5 mins)

Stir in the egg yolk thoroughly, then gradually add the oil little by little.  (This is easier to do with an electric whizzstick or a liquidiser).

When the mixture thickens, add a little warm water and lemon juice, then more oil.

Repeat until you have sufficient Aioli.

Season with salt and pepper

Serving suggestions: Great for use on salads or with grilled or steamed vegetables, add a little red or green harissa or good quality mustard and serve on barbecued prawns or grilled fish,  or finish with a light dusting of golden ras el hanout on chicken or fish.

Keeps well if refrigerated
