An amazing sauce and one of the greats! Make this with the very freshest of ingredients.
2 or 3 fresh garlic cloves, peeled, chopped and with a pinch of Kosher or coarse sea salt 1 egg yolk (room temp)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 Cup Winterhill Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Place garlic & salt in a food processor fitted with metal blade. Pulse for 2 seconds. Add egg yolk & lemon juice, and pulse on and off until blended. Turn back on and add oil in a slow steady stream until blended. lf too thick add some room temp water 1/4 tsp at a time until it gets a bit thicker. Aioli should be the consistency of mayonnaise. Finish off with pepper and more salt to your taste if needed.
