Aioli

Directions

1. 1
   mince & mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Whisk together yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a bowl. Combine oils and add, a few drops at a time, to yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified. (if mixture sparates, stop adding oil and continue whisking until mixture comes together, then resume adding oil.)
2. 2
   Whisk in garlic paste and season with salt and peppler. If aioli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
