Aïoli

Aïoli is a traditional Mediterranean sauce made primarily from garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, and olive oil. Its rich, creamy texture results from emulsifying the garlic, egg, and oil, creating a smooth, flavorful condiment. Originally from Provence, aïoli is often used as a dip, spread, or accompaniment for seafood, vegetables, and grilled meats. Its bold garlic flavor and silky consistency make it a versatile addition to many dishes. While simple in ingredients, mastering the emulsification process is key to achieving the perfect aïoli.
