The theme for Monday posts in August is One thing Else.
It’s not salads or sides or grilling or smoking.
I’m not highlighting a favourite vegetable or different meals.
These recipes are simply going to be the odd issues I make – as a result of.
Like this aioli or allioli.
Aioli is French, often made with an egg yolk.
Allioli, or the Catalan model of aioli, is made with out eggs.
It’s heavy on the garlic, and very popular.
Garlic packs lots of warmth when crushed with a mortar and pestle.
Neither one are ‘garlic mayonnaise’.
You possibly can lower it with mayonnaise for those who like however that provides you one thing completely different: delicate, however nonetheless tasty.
That is the Catalan model and makes about 4 tbs of allioli. It might probably’t be made forward because it tends to ‘break’ upon sitting – nonetheless good, however it must be pounded again collectively

Aioli or Allioli
That is sizzling, and takes a bit of work. We adore it combined with a little bit of mayo as a dip for fries. Beats ketchup! Good on burgers, too.
Or add a spoonful to roasted or grilled potatoes. Add a dollop to Gazpacho.

Notes
You need to do that with a mortar and pestle. The garlic must be mashed. A blender or meals processor is not going to work – you’ll get a bland garlic mayonnaise. The pounding pulverizes the cells, releasing allicin which provides it the sharp, sizzling taste.
