Ingredients




4 cloves garlic
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1 Into a food processor bowl, outfitted with a metal blade, drop garlic cloves, pulse blade until the garlic is pulverized, then stop. 2 Drop egg yolks into bowl, add salt. 3 Start the blade again and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a thick paste is formed. 4 In a matter of minutes you'll have a bowl full of delight! 5 Aioli can also be made using a hand-held immersion blender. Though the hand held blender does not pulverize the garlic well. 6 Press garlic using a hand held press into the mixing cylinder. 7 Drop in egg yolks, add salt. 8 Process yolks with blender. 9 Begin adding the olive oil in a slow drizzle or by spooning it in, about a tablespoon at a time. 10 When a thick paste forms -- enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
