Making Aïoli

[malgash]

MOUHAHAHAHAHA (french laugh) terrible cooking but noble effort ;)

[matthewung]

Using your finger like that to scoop mustard and such into a bowl looks disgusting.

[SoyuzBot]

the pronunciation of Aïoli is even wrong.

[mimi210384]

Before explaining how to moake aïoli learn the recipe!

[MizzSantelicez23]

People here are really fucking judgmental there's other fucking ways to make AÏoli! So why don't you guys shut the fuck up you internet assholes!!

Thank youu! (:

[scorpineta1991]

What ingredients are those that are like a thick and something that is kind of flour?

[dvecam]

Its with mayo shithead!!

[boret1]

This has to be the worst recipe ever!!!

Allioli means literally "garlic and oil", is a typical paste-like cold sauce of Sapin. It is made by pounding garlic with olive oil and salt in a mortar until a smooth texture is obtained. Classic allioli does not use egg, however, and cooks pride themselves in their techniques, as it may be difficult for the uninitiated to get the mixture to emulsify. Just check Wikipedia next time!

[bidelce]

You just spoiled a delicious recipe. Happily there's a tonne of true aioli videos over there.

[CH0KEABITCH]

This is like allioli made in China...

[kenfo0]

@CH0KEABITCH can't be....there's no toxic waste mixed in!

[MariaSharapovaIsLove]

This isn't aioli.

Whoever made this video needs to go back to cooking school. Or someone shoot the person who slaughtered the recipe for real aioli. This overcomplicates things.

[itsageoffrushthing]

ah, no.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

cant you just soft boil the egg and let it cool to room temp?

[batman4ever666]

wtf is that ... like totslsnomstanpillats said .... thats anything but real allioli

[adavis84]

Not even close.

[LapisGarter]

You have to crush the garlic to a paste. Mincing isn't enough.

[toneub]

that is NOT Aioli

[Totslsnomstanpillats]

Wtf! I'm sorry, but that's anything but allioli

[swyne73]

not are all i oli..true all i oli have ajo..oil..and finish!

[pedantic79]

This is fine recipe of garlic flavored mayonnaise, but this is no true aioli. kanay71 recipe is right

[Oneness100]

Has anyone had Caffe Sports" (San Francisco) Scampi with White Sauce? They supposedly use egg whites, not egg yokes. Their White Sauce is insane. Anyone know their recipe?

[leneadotcom]

the best aioli can be found in gasthaus thomas

[kanay71]

true recipe:

1. crush 6 garlics, with salt and a bit of olive oil

2. when the garlics are well crushed (like a cream) add 1 yellow of an egg

3.add the olive oil slowly (25 cl) and 1/2 coffee spoon of water, and same quantity of fresh lemon juice.

and that's all!

[elizondoe]

You are right kanay71

Yours is the true recipe. Aioli is GREAT!

[djson28]

O_o ..Sorry but you too went it wrong. A true aioli must be a mixture of: Mayonnaise, Garlic and the most important Mash potatoes. That's the true one. See ya!!

[fardisghomeshi]

@djson28 lol

[jagwio]

@kanay71 pasting the garlic is essential, as you say. completely pasting the garlic causes two flavor chemicals in the garlic to completely undergo the chemical reaction that produces that wonderful aioli flavor. booyah!

[kanay71]

@jagwio exactly, that's why the more you are pasting the garlics, better the aioli is. But aioli is not only the sauce, it's a complete dish, who reveal is entire flavor with all the ingredients: -boiled stockfish filets -boiled eggs - zucchinis -green beans -sea snails (called "bullots" in France), cooked with white wine, onions, red pepper...etc -new potatoes and carrots and in some recipes, you can add: -cauliflowers -artichokes -white cuttlefish -beetroot Bon appétit!

[kanay71]

All the vegetables and fishs, are boiled separetly (the fish with a broth, and only water for the rest). It can be eat as a hot or cold dish, it depends on when you've finished your Pastis...

With that you can drink a rosé de Provence wine, cold served, or any else good wine (rosé or white, no red wine)

[runtinsweet]

@kanay71 That's not a 'true' recipe, true aioli does not use egg, just garlic and oil!

[dnavenger]

@runtinsweet Well, then I guess you know that there is a difference between Spanish aioli, which you are talking about, and classical Provencal French aioli....because you know everything.

[shariotoflove]

@dnavenger fine, then it should be made clear in the video

[vanesayamin]

dat is not alioli not spaans

[vousette]

just my opinion , the mayonnaise (before adding garlic) is very yellow and lumpy...I like more oil in mine and more runny =\

[mreisma]

my aioli was greasy in texture, how do you fix this?

[Fate481]

Your mayonnaise probably broke. Just add a little water and re-emulsify.

[snowblazer12]

keep whisking

[jc8ward]

1. Extra Virgin Olive oil is a waste of money in any mayonnaise.

2. There is nothing wrong with raw eggs if you trust your provider.

3. I like lemon juice in Aïoli.

4. I agree with earlier posters, true Aïoli does not contain egg or mustard, but having said this, some of the best cooks in Provence add one or both.

[leonidasthe1hippie]

ok

1) the first minute and half is one of her other videos

2) never eat raw egg

[Andromanche1337]

The vinegar and lemon juice will help to neutralize any harmful bacteria in the aioli or mayo that you make at home. Plus if you use some pasteurized eggs it will help reduce the risk of salmonella even more. :P

[Chorltonian]

@Andromanche1337 Just thinking the same ;-D

[psychofantasy2000]

I really appreciate these videos, however, I have to agree with the previous commenter. This is not aioli, this is a simple garlic mayonnaise. When making an aioli, a mortar and pestle is used with the garlic. This releases a compound called allicin (I believe) which strongly enhances the flavor.

While this is a tasty recipe, it is not aioli.

[ac3jc]

wrong!! thats a garlic mayo not an aioli. dont need an egg yolk. even mustard for that matter

[jchua619]

the traditional aioli doesn't need egg yolk and mustard but some of the chefs today has started adding egg yolk for making the mixing easier and mustard for more flavor

[roussel81]

cool! will definitely try to make aoili later tonight!

[zzebowa]

And what oil should be used?

[jrthedeadboy]

I like using extra virgin olive oil or just plain olive oil.

[zzebowa]

I make aoli often, I use sunflower and olive oil, but not to strong an olive oil, else the aoli is too bitter.

What I was getting at was how a US cookery video could omit such an important part of the recipe. In France this would never happen. Even the kind of salt used would be discussed (Carmargue salt is super and gives an incredible flavour to food. You can use alot of it,and yet it never has that metalic taste that pain salt has.) and even the type of vinegar would be too.

[LukeLellen]

Awesome Video, Food is my lovelife lol!
