Aïoli
Provençal garlic and olive-oil sauce with egg yolk.
About Aïoli
Aïoli is a garlic and olive-oil sauce associated with Provence. This Aix-en-Provence version includes egg yolks, and the tourism office also lists vegetables, egg, salt cod and snails as accompaniments.
Garlic gives the sauce its pronounced, pungent flavour, rounded by olive oil and the richness of egg yolk. Salt is the only additional seasoning in this particular sauce recipe.
The sauce is a smooth, thick emulsion. Its creamy consistency contrasts with the separately cooked accompaniments, which are serving options rather than ingredients mixed into the aïoli itself.
