    Aïoli
    Use a pale-golden oil to make this silky, garlic-spiced mayonnaise. Aïoli will keep, refrigerated and covered, for up to 3 days. Makes 1 cup.

    IngredientsAïoliAïoli
    2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
    1 egg yolk, at room temperature
    1 clove garlic, minced and smashed into a paste
    1 cup pale golden extra-virgin olive oil
    Kosher salt to taste

    Instructions
    1. Drape a tea towel over a 5-qt. pot and set a medium bowl inside pot so it nestles inside snugly. Add lemon juice, egg yolk, and garlic to bowl and beat until well combined.


    2. Transfer oil to a measuring cup with a spout; while whisking vigorously, drizzle a few drops of oil into bowl with egg mixture. Still whisking, drizzle in a few more drops, and continue to whisk vigorously until egg mixture is very thick and emulsified. Gradually add remaining oil in a very thin stream while whisking vigorously until the aïoli is smooth, pale yellow, and emulsified. Season with salt.

    3.Whisk in 2 tsp. water for a thinner aïoli.
