Classic Aïoli French Garlic Mayonnaise Food

AïOLI

Steps:

• 1. Crush the garlic cloves with the salt in a mortar or deep bowl until you have a smooth paste. Take out some of it as it may be too much; you can add it back later.
• 2. Add the egg yolk. Anchor the bowl down by tying a dishtowel around it tightly, if necessary.
• 3. Using a fork or whisk, add the oil to the egg and garlic mixture starting very slowly, drop by drop. I like to use a spout in an olive oil bottle to regulate the flow but you can also drip the oil in from a spoon. As the mayonnaise thickens continue to add the oil in a very thin stream. Continue until all the oil has been incorporated.
• 4. If it gets too thick you can dilute it slightly with a tablespoon of warm water - don't add more oil, it will just get thicker. Taste, and add more of the garlic, if desired.
• This recipe can easily be doubled, and you can make the aïoli in a food processor but the texture and taste is not as fine as hand-made.

MICHELLE'S FRENCH MAYONNAISE IN A FLASH!

Steps:

• Take a tall measuring jug or a tall glass container - it must be tall apparently!
• Put the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, garlic if using, salt & pepper in the jug. Mix them together.
• Pour in the oil.
• Using a hand blender - plunge it all the way to the bottom and then turn it on.
• NOTE: (The hand blender is one of those long thin ones, that has concealed blades underneath at the bottom.).
• Then very slowly pull it up towards the top of the jug, you will see the mixture turning into mayonnaise as you pull it up!
• Add the lemon juice as soon as your mixture has turned into mayonnaise!
• Blitz it again with the hand blender, taste & season again if you wish.
• Store in a jam jar for up to a week in the fridge.
• N.B. If you don't have a container which holds 500 ml, you can halve the quantities with no problem at all.
• Et voila, c'est parfait!

FRENCH AIOLI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat eggs well with a wire whisk. Stir in garlic. Gradually add oil in a thin stream, beating constantly until light and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate.

AIOLI

Steps:

• Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Finely chop the garlic, using the side of the knife to periodically mash it against the cutting board, until it becomes a smooth paste. (You can also do this in a mortar and pestle.)
• To make the aioli in a mini food processor, put the garlic paste in a mini food processor, add the lemon juice and egg yolks and pulse to combine. With the machine running, add the neutral oil a few drops at a time, making sure it incorporates into the yolks and the mixture emulsifies. Once all of the neutral oil is added, scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add the olive oil in the same manner. (If the machine seems like it is working too hard or straining while adding the oil, add the tablespoon of water at this point to loosen the mixture a bit; otherwise, add the tablespoon of water once all of the oil has been added.) Mix in the cayenne. The aioli should be thick, shiny and smooth, with a spreadable consistency similar to jarred mayonnaise. If you want a slightly thinner sauce, add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional water slowly, with the machine running, until you reach the desired consistency. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• To make the aioli by hand, dampen a kitchen towel and roll up. Form the towel roll into a circle and anchor a bowl in the center. Whisk together the garlic paste, lemon juice and egg yolks in the bowl. Whisk the oils into the mixture as directed above, using one hand to add the oil drop by drop and the other to whisk constantly. Add the oil very slowly at first. Once the mixture has formed a thick emulsification, you can stream the oil in a little faster. If it gets too thick, add the water to loosen it up and continue. Mix in the cayenne.
