Malt Vinegar Tarragon Aioli Food

CHEATER'S AIOLI

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, combine the pressed garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread it into an even layer so the juice can work its magic. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, so the lemon juice can absorb the garlic's flavor.
• Place a fine mesh strainer over another bowl. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, scoop the contents of the bowl into the strainer, then press on the garlic with the spatula to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the garlic.
• Stir the mayo into the garlicky lemon juice until combined. Taste, and adjust only if necessary-if the garlic flavor is overwhelming, stir in more mayonnaise by the tablespoon. If you want it to taste a little more interesting, add the Dijon mustard. For more tang, add another little squeeze of lemon juice.
• Aioli will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up more as it chills.

GRILLED STEAK FRIES WITH MALT VINEGAR AIOLI

• Heat a grill to high. Brush the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a serving dish and serve with the aioli alongside.

Steps:

• Fill the fryer with oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
