Ingredients
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, use a nice large size
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground White Pepper
  • 150 Milliliters Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Large Egg Yolks
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, you can use up to 2 tablespoons

Directions
  1. In a large pestle and mortar, pound together the garlic, salt and pepper until smooth, adding a little olive oil from time to time to moisten the mixture.
  2. Once the mixture has formed a smooth paste, add the egg yolks and pound again until they are completely combined into the garlic mix.
  3. Slowly add the remaining olive oil, as if making mayonnaise, until the emulsion is thick and smooth.
  4. Beat in the lemon juice to taste and use as desired.
  5. In France, aioli is traditionally served with seafood, fish soup, and croutons. It is usually served at room temperature. The name aioli (alhòli) comes from Provençal alh 'garlic' (Latin allium) + òli 'oil' (Latin oleum).
