Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 1tsp dijon mustard
- pinch of salt.
- 10ml white vinegar
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup light olive oil
- 1T herb (parsley, mint, coriander etc)
Anna's Aioli for those tiny new Tatties
Method
- Crush the garlic, then mix with the mustard, yolk, and salt in a medium size mixing bowl
- Then pour the oil drop by drop at the start and then in a very fine thread as you whisk like billy-oh
- You want to pour more slowly at the start as you are working to start the yolk emulsifying the oil, then a little more keenly
- If your pour too quickly and it splits, just get another bowl, another egg yolk and start whisking again, adding teaspoons of the split mixture at a time
- Keeps in the fridge for 4 days
- If it is too thick when you come to use it add a T of warm (to hot) water at a time
- Add the herb just as you serve

My friend taught me to make this aioli. If I follow her instructions it works. No food processor needed, just a whisk and a strong arm.
