Garlic Aioli (Mayonaisse)

I thought we should do some staple items so you can create sauces and other recipes truly from scratch. Mayo is an all purpose staple. I like to use it to coat fish for a nut or coconut crust and then bake. This is a garlic flavored Aioli works great for a nice Roast Beef sandwich or on a piece of salmon.


16 garlic cloves (peeled and Green removed)
8 Egg yolks (reserve the whites for a nice omelet)
1/4 C white wine vinegar
1/4 C Dijon mustard
Juice from 2 lemons
Salt and white pepper to taste
6 C Light olive oil

Combine first 6 ingredients in a blender and process until combined and somewhat smooth

While motor is running slowly add oil in a stream until all is added. If it is a little to thick add a little more lemon juice and stir until consistency you like.

You have made a Garlic Mayo congratulations!!! Don't like garlic? What is wrong with you? anyway , add 1/4 C of roasted red pepper and a small seeded chili pod instead and make a classic Rouille sauce
