Garlic Mayonnaise (Aioli)

The Spaniards claim to have invented mayonnaise. A lot of other countries do as well. Whomever is responsible did the world a great favor. Homemade mayonnaise, especially when made with the highest quality extra-virgin Spanish olive oil, is noticeably superior to even the best store bought brands. Toss in a little garlic like they do in Spain and the dish it’s served with compliments the aioli, not the other way around.
