RECIPE NAME:  AIOLI
RECIPE BY: BON APPETIT!
SERVING SIZE: 8 to 10
PREPARATION TIME: 1 1/2 hour
 INGREDIENTS:
8 to 10  cloves garlic peeled
1 1/2 teaspoon cooking salt -
2 to 3 - egg yolks -
1 1/2 cups olive oil -
1 to 2 teaspoons boiling water -
 
DIRECTIONS:
  • Crush the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (alternatively use the blade of a knife).
  • Put the garlic paste into the bowl of a food processor and, with the motor running, drop in the egg yolks and process until well mixed.
  • Add the oil drop, by drop, until the mixture thickens visibly, then, in a very slow steady stream, add the remaining oil.
  • The aioli will thicken and emulsify.
  • When all the oil is added, pour in the boiling water to stabilize the aioli.
  • Remove to a screw top jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before use.  This will allow the flavor to develop.
Notes - Comments: If the aioli separates due the addition of too much oil too quickly, remove the separated aioli from the bowl.  Wash and dry the bowl, then process a fresh egg yolk and add the aioli a teaspoon at a time.
