Directions

  1. Prepare this aioli in a ceramic mortar, using a wooden pestle. This is the same pestle you would use to crush purées or almonds. ≈ 4 min
  2. Finely chop the garlic cloves and crush them in a mortar. Add the oil drop by drop, in a very thin stream, always turning in the same direction. Season with fine salt. ≈ 8 min
  3. If the sauce breaks, add a boiled and cooled potato, which will help to bring it back together.
  4. You can vary it by adding a little tomato sauce, breadcrumbs soaked in vinegar, or cooked apple or quince pulp. ≈ 3 min
  5. Serve it cold. ≈ 2 min
