AIOLI RECIPES

AIOLI                                                 J. Beard 

3  garlic cloves
2  egg yolks
1  tsp salt
1 1/2 Cups good olive oil 

Put garlic, egg yolks, and salt in a blender and run at high speed for 30 seconds.  With the blender running slowly add the olive oil. 

If it should curdle, put the curdled mixture in a bowl then start the blender again with a fresh yolk and a little bit of oil.  Slowly add the curdled mix into the blender.  You should get a dense mayonaise-ey mass. 

Try with fries, hot or cold poached fish, cold vegetables, hot or cold meats.
