SHORTCUT AIOLI (GARLIC MAYO) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Crush the garlic cloves with the flat of a knife, and remove the skin. Then mince the garlic very finely.
• Add a pinch of salt, and using the flat of the knife again, scrape and press the garlic against the cutting surface to make a paste that is as smooth as possible. It's making this paste from the fresh garlic that gives aioli its intense garlic flavor. Note that making a smooth paste is key to the success of this sauce. If you don't spend a few minutes on this step, you will be left with small bits of raw and harsh-tasting garlic, which will not do justice to the magic of aioli.
• Add the garlic to a small bowl, and whisk together with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
• Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.
