Aioli - garlic mayonnaise

This is a delightful sauce with numerous applications but my favorite dish is fresh langustines with aioli. Simply delicious and nothing else is required except perhaps a good Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio!

To make the sauce you will need:

1 large egg yolk
1 TBSP lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves peeled and crushed
5 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
7 TBSP sunflower oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Method

Put the egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk away till all the ingredients are well blended.

Add the olive oil, then the sunflower oil drop by drop slowly whisking until the sauce becomes ever thicker and smooth. Serve immediately.
