Garlic Aioli
This is the ideal party spread for everything from crunchy French bread to grilled
fish or chicken. Make a double batch because it will disappear fast.
Ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

the salt and egg yolk, and beat until the egg turns lighter in color.
