Ingredients
- 6 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and remove any green sprouts from the center to prevent any bitterness.
Step 2
In a mortar, add the peeled garlic cloves and the sea salt.
Step 3
Use a pestle to pound the garlic into a smooth, paste-like consistency.
Step 4
Once the garlic is well mashed, it's time to add the olive oil. Do this slowly and steadily.
Step 5
Pour the olive oil very gradually, a few drops at a time, into the mortar while continuing to mash the garlic vigorously with the pestle.
Step 6
Keep adding the oil slowly while maintaining a circular motion with the pestle. The sauce should start to thicken and emulsify.
Step 7
Continue the process of adding oil and mashing until all the oil is incorporated and the sauce has a thick, creamy consistency.
Step 8
Taste the allioli and adjust the seasoning with a touch more sea salt if needed.
Step 9
The allioli is now ready to be served. It can be used as a condiment, dip, or spread with meats, vegetables, or even as a topping on breads.
