About

Aïoli is a garlicky mayonnaise from southern France. In this recipe, I add a few drops of hot pepper sauce, which is definitely not classic. If you need aïoli for vegetables, just omit the hot sauce.

2 large eggs

Method

Put the eggs, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Process until well blended. With the machine running, pour in the oil in a steady stream until it is incorporated and the mayonnaise is smooth. Add the garlic. Process until smooth. The mayonnaise is now an aïoli. It will keep for at least a week.
