Aioli nouvelle Orleans is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. With its creamy texture and garlicky flavor, aioli nouvelle Orleans is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, roasted vegetables, or even just a simple piece of bread. The origins of this sauce can be traced back to Provence, France, where it was traditionally made with garlic, olive oil, and egg yolks. However, the New Orleans version of aioli has a unique twist that sets it apart from its French counterpart.

REAL AIOLI
Aioli is arguably the greatest cold sauce of all time. Yet it's nothing more than olive oil emulsified into freshly crushed garlic, seasoned simply with salt and lemon. This is pure, fiery, intense garlic flavor like you may have never tasted.

Add another teaspoon and mix in thoroughly. Continue incorporating olive oil, teaspoon by teaspoon, mashing and stirring until aioli thickens up. If the aioli gets thicker than you like, add a few drops of water.

AIOLI
This garlic mayonnaise is excellent with fish. Serve with grilled salmon, deep fried cod, or baked bass; it is good with these recipes and so many more. Vary the flavor by using olive oils from Greece, France, or Italy, but definitely choose an extra virgin olive oil. Do not store for more than a few hours.

AIOLI NOUVELLE ORLEANS
Source: SECRETS OF A NEW ORLEANS CHEF, Tom Cowman's Recipes, by Greg Cowman, University of Mississippi Press. I've used this for an accompaniment to virtually everything vegetable, fish or meat, and in any combination imaginable. It has the liberating taste of garlic, only somewhat refined. For those either new to garlic, or who have somewhat of an aversion to it, start with three cloves and work your way up to the specified 9. Chef Tom was one of the unheralded geniuses of New Orleans cooking. His nephew, Greg, was able to get a wonderful collection of his recipes published in SECRETS of a NEW ORLEANS CHEF, University of Mississippi press-well worth finding.

AIOLI
When I make aioli I use two olive oils: one is a bit more expensive, a bit more peppery and a bit more gutsy, and the second is a bit more bland but still nice and mellow. By blending the flavors in this way you achieve an olive oil flavor that isn't too strong or too peppery. Aioli is great with cold roast pork. Basil aioli is good with pink grilled salmon, and lemon aioli works well with crostini in fish broth.

Steps:
- Smash up the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have a mortar and pestle you can very finely chop the garlic). Place the egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Then start to add your olive oil bit by bit. Once you've blended in a half cup of the olive oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. When you've added it all, you can add the garlic and lemon (to taste) and any extra flavors such as basil, fennel tops, dill, chopped roast nuts. To finish just season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice.

GRAND GREEN AIOLI
"Le grand aioli" is a classic Provençal meal of vegetables and steamed seafood, centered on a rich and lemony garlic-laden aioli for dipping. Here, the sauce is vibrant with fresh parsley. This summery dish features a colorful mix of crunchy vegetables and crisp lettuces alongside steamed nutty edamame, to keep it vegetarian. But poached shrimp, rotisserie chicken, canned tuna and hard-boiled eggs would all be welcome for dipping. Very little cooking is required - just some quick boiling - making this perfect for a stress-free weeknight dinner or a celebratory get-together. Leftover aioli is a terrific sandwich spread, as well as a versatile dressing for roasted potatoes or pasta salad.

Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add edamame and boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer edamame to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Fill a bowl with ice water if using green beans, asparagus or snap peas. Add green beans and asparagus to the boiling water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Cook snap peas, if using, for 1 minute, adding to the green beans and asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Drain and transfer vegetables to the ice water to cool, then drain again. Other vegetables should be served raw.
- Make the aioli: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and ¼ cup water. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and safflower oil until well blended. Add the parsley and purée until smooth. Transfer the aioli to a bowl. It can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Arrange the vegetables and lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Serve with the edamame and aioli.
LE GRAND AIOLI
In the Provencal tradition, we served the aioli on a large plate and surrounded it with a colorful array of dipping items, such as celery, fingerling potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and blue-crab claws. Use whatever is fresh in your local market.
