Aioli

Eatwell Farmhouse Kitchen

2 Eatwell Farm Egg Yolks
2 or 3 cloves of Garlic
Olive Oil
Juice of 1/2 Lemon, plus the zest
A good pinch of Salt
A tiny pinch of Cayenne
Pinch of Mustard Powder

Mince the garlic, then in a mortar and pestle mash to a paste. Add the egg yolks and mix well.  Starting with just one drop at a time add the olive oil.  Continue adding slowly until the yolks and oil emulsify.  Add the salt, cayenne and mustard, add more olive oil, mixing all the while.  When it starts to thicken put in some of the lemon juice and lemon zest, check for flavor.  Add more seasoning if you like, and more oil if it needs to be thicker.
