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
