RECIPE MAGIC!

AWESOME AIOLI: FIVE WAYS
Trust Emily Lycopolus, the author of "The Olive Oil & Vinegar Lover's Cookbook", when she says that AIOLI (a-o-lee) is simple to make and a joy to serve. With endless variations to keep it interesting, it adds an essential gourmet flourish to the ordinary. A dollop on roast potatoes, a dip for fries, a spread on a sandwich or alongside roast beef. Aioli is traditionally prepared with olive oil (not canola) adding a fruity flavour to soften garlic's intensity. This recipe is from Emily Lycopolus' new, updated edition of "The Olive Oil Lover's Cookbook". 

INGREDIENTS:
1 garlic clove, trimmed and peeled
1 egg yolk (farm fresh is best)
1 tbsp Sicilian Lemon white balsamic
Pinch of dry mustard
3/4 cup mild or medium fresh extra virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
