Aioli - Jamie Oliver

Ingredients

• 1/2 garlic clove, peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup pure olive oil
• lemon juice, to taste
• salt, to taste
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. 1

   Grind the garlic and salt in a mortar and pestle (or chop the garlic finely and rub the salt into it with the flat of your chef's knife, smearing it across your cutting board several times).

2. 2

   Place egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Whisking vigorously, add olive oil drop by drop. Once about 1/2 cup of oil has been added, you can start pouring faster, still whisking continuously.

3. 3

   When all the oil is incorporated, add garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

4. 4

   You can also add additional accent flavors, such as basil, fennel fronds, dill, or chopped roasted nuts.
