Directions

  1. Peel and mince the garlic.
  2. Using the flat side of a large knife, crush the garlic.
  3. Crush the garlic and salt into a paste. (Save time by using a garlic press that peels and mashes the garlic in one step.)
  4. Crack the eggs and separate the yolks into a small mixing bowl.
  5. Transfer the garlic paste to the bowl and whisk to blend.
  6. With a hand mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream until a creamy sauce begins to form.
  7. Add the touch of lemon juice slowly at the end, while keeping the mixer on to ensure that the sauce stays smooth.
  8. Serve with fish, as a condiment for your favorite sandwich, or as a dipping sauce for French fries. Enjoy.
