SALSA ALIOLI (GARLIC MAYONNAISE)
This wickedly delicious garlic mayonnaise originated in Catalonia and quickly spread throughout Spain. In its purest form, this sauce would never be made with egg yolk - only olive oil, garlic and salt - however, it is easier to achieve the emulsion at home by using the yolk, and I like the creamy texture it gives. Aioli is a quintessential sauce and is such a wonderful accompaniment to almost anything including roast beef and other cold meats or vegetables such as artichokes, asparagus or poached leeks. It's also amazing as a sauce for olive oil-fried seafood, like tender calamari, and is delicious drizzled over young lamb chops, roasted chicken, grilled fish and seafood, such as lobster grilled on the half shell. For a decadent occasion, add an additional clove of garlic to the recipe and a little extra lemon juice, and toss hot olive oil-fried potatoes (in chunks) with the aioli. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne or paprika on top or spoon a dollop of sundried tomato paste on top and serve.

Steps:
- Pound and crush the garlic with a pinch of salt to a paste in a mortar, or chop finely using the flat part of your knife to crush the garlic and salt into a smooth paste. This may take a few minutes but it is essential that the garlic is perfectly smooth and that no chunks remain before starting to make the aioli. Transfer to a bowl, add the egg yolks and whisk to blend. Still whisking, slowly pour in a quarter of the olive oil, a few drops at a time, until the sauce starts to acquire some body, and then pour in the rest of the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, until it becomes a creamy thick sauce. To finish, add in the lemon juice, plus an extra squeeze of lemon juice to taste, and the hot water. Stir well and serve. If not serving right away, store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh garlic and lemon zest will give your aioli the best flavor.
- If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can mince the garlic and lemon zest in a food processor or blender.
- Be sure to whisk the egg yolks and oil slowly at first, then gradually increase the speed. This will help prevent the aioli from separating.
- If your aioli does separate, don't panic! Just add a little more oil and whisk until it comes back together.
- Aioli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Alioli is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping, spreading, or drizzling. Whether you're making it with garlic, lemon, or both, aioli is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give aioli a try. You won't be disappointed!
