AIOLI RECIPE WITH NO EGG

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  • In a mortar, crush the garlic with the salt to form a paste.
  • Add a few drops of oil and mix, always in the same direction.
  • Add oil very slowly, and always grinding in the same direction, to form a thick dough. If you add all the oil at once, the sauce will not emulsify. Similarly, when the dough is emulsified, stop adding oil.
  • You can add egg yolk at room temperature to emulsify the sauce better.
  • To help thicken, you can also add some bread crumbs.
