Recipe by Claytox

I was taught to make this Aioli in Spanish cooking classes, it is basically a fast way to make an real (or almost real) Aioli without resorting to using pre made mayonnaise. It tastes great and takes under 5 minutes to prepare. You will need a thin tall measuring cup or jug and a hand held (vertical or stab) blender. If you don't like garlic, you can make without. You can add things like herbs (fresh or dried), black pepper, smoked paprika or other things you like. Experiment with the amount of oil and lemon juice, or try lime juice. If you want it to be more rich add two eggs yokes instead of one whole egg.

Push the handheld blender to the bottom of the jug and turn on the blender. Slowly lift the blender to the top of the oil. Repeat two or three times, or until smooth. Remove blender, shaking off excess.
