Lemon

½ L of olive oil

1. Peel the cloves of garlic and crush them using a rammer in themortar.

2. Add the yellows yolks, salt, pepper and mix well the whole using a wooden rammer.

3. Without ceasing turning the mixture of a hand, add other hand, the olive oil drop by drop, while turning vigorously in a regular way. The sauce must become increasingly thick.

4. As soon as the sauce will be more consistent, pour the olive oil more quickly without ceasing turning.

A good formula : if the aioli "falls", crush a potatoe pulp in the preparation to give consistency.
