What Is Aioli?
Aioli: A thick garlic sauce, traditionally made by emulsifying oil into garlic, with lemon juice often added for tang in modern versions.
In the kitchen
The traditional Provençal aioli is garlic pounded with oil and salt. Many modern versions add egg yolk and lemon juice, which makes them closer to garlicky mayonnaise and much easier to make stable.
Lemon brightens the richness and helps balance the garlic. Serve it with fish, roasted vegetables, potatoes or sandwiches.
