Aiè, the garlic mayo of the Italian Riviera
0

Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic (better of Vessalico), skin removed
- 1/2 lemon, its juice
- 1/4 cup of seeds oil
Instructions
1. Put the garlic cloves in the mortar and smash with the pestle until they become a soft paste. If you don't have a mortar a blender will be fine as well (less vintage but more practical!). 2. Add the yolk, the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and blend for a minute. 3. Mix the two different oils in the same cup and pour the oil so obtained little by little (like a thin line) in the mortar whilst blending quickly but gently. 4. Continue blending for 5 minutes or until the sauce is creamy, soft, shiny and clear (like a mayo). 5.

Tips & Variations
Build flavor layers
Caramelize onions and toast spices to create depth without meat.
Don't forget protein
Include eggs, cheese, beans, or tofu for satisfying meals.
Al dente pasta
Cook pasta until it's still slightly firm - it will continue cooking in the sauce.
