Basil Aioli

Directions

1. 1
   * to coddle the eggs, place whole egg (in the shell) into simmering water for 1 minute then remove and chill under cold running water. This is to make sure you have no salmonella in your yolk. You could use pasturized eggs, I suppose.
2. 2
   Place the garlic (finely chopped), egg yolks and dijon into a stainless steel bowl and whisk together.
3. 3
   whisk in the lemon juice.
4. 4
   in a slow stream, add in the olive oil, whisking constantly until it is fully incorporated. This will thicken as it is whisked, so add a bit of water along the way if it gets too thick.
5. 5
   Season with salt.
6. 6
   Stir in the basil (very finely chopped).
