Aioli is a thick mayonnaise-like sauce from southern France made with garlic, eggs, and oil.

Ingredients

　　5 garlic cloves

　　8 eggs

　　5 cups extra-virgin olive oil

　　Peel the garlic cloves. Cut each garlic clove in half, and remove the central pale green sprout from the garlic, if there is one. Put the eggs and garlic into a deep bowl tall pitcher. Process with a hand-held blender until smooth. With the blender running, add the oil little by little. Season with salt. The aioli should have a thick, creamy texture like mayonnaise.
