Aioli or Ailloli
From: Marielle, Quebec, Quebec, Canada
Comments: Aioli is a mayonnaise flavored with garlic, excellent served along with meat and fish.
If it is too much trouble to make your own mayonnaise, try mixing crushed garlic into store bought real mayonnaise, not salad dressing; refrigerate, covered, for at least 12 hours before using.
Servings: Approximately 1 1/2 cups [375 mL]
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon [2.5 mL] salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups [310 mL] olive oil
  • Crush garlic cloves into a small bowl.
  • Thouroughly mix in salt.
  • Using a fork, beat in egg yolks, one at a time, until thick.
  • Still beating, very slowly [one drop at a time] pour in 1/3rd of olive oil.
  • Then slowly pour in remaining oil, beating at all times.
  • If mixture becomes too thick and difficult to beat, pour in 1 teaspoon [5 mL] cold water.
  • When done, mayonnaise should look like really thick cream.
  • Keep refrigerated.
