Aïoli Sauce Recipe
Provencal French cuisine
Aïoli is a Provencal garlic sauce (the name Aïoli is Provençal) used, like a mayonaise, on a variety of dishes, including boiled potatoes, fish, and cold lamb.
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
garlic [l'ail]
olive oil [huile d'olive]
1 raw egg yolk [jaune d'oeuf]
1 cooked egg yolk [jaune d'oeuf]
salt
In a mortar, crush the garlic into a fine paste. Add the egg yolks and salt lightly. Mix in the olive oil very slowly until you obtain a smooth paste.
We've personally only made this in small quantities, without much measurement. Some of the recipes we've seen list other quantities:
- (4 people) 6 cloves garlic; 1 egg yolk; 1/2 litre olive oil
- (6 people) 12 cloves garlic; 2 egg yolks; 1/2 litre olive oil
