With an intense aroma of garlic, it is prepared like the classic mayonnaise and is perfect to give flavor to boiled meats and vegetables, steamed fish and eggs. Try it!
The aïoli sauce is a preparation based on garlic, a classic of Provence and has become very popular also in Piedmont. It is a "revisited" mayonnaise, with a very characteristic flavor, perfect to accompany boiled meats, steamed fish or vegetables. As for the classic mayonnaise, care must be taken that does not go crazy, but in case it happens, we have a trick to suggest (you can find it in the tutorial) that will allow you not to throw away everything! Here is the recipe for preparing your aïoli sauce.
The choice of garlic
Garlic can taste more or less intense, and this depends on whether it is fresh or dry, or that it has been treated with milk, an element that helps to remove the typical bitterness of this product. So, if you prefer a stronger sauce, use thedry garlic. If you want a more delicate taste, take the fresh garlic, which is however in late spring, or peel the cloves and leave them to soak in the milk for a few hours. If you want to speed up this operation, you can immerse it 10 minutes in boiling milk.
