Chili Aioli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup neutral-flavored vegetable oil, such as canola
2 garlic cloves, very finely minced
fine salt
chili sauce or cayenne pepper, to taste

Preparation

Whisk together mustard, lemon juice and egg yolk in a bowl.
Add oil to yolk mixture a few drops at a time, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified.
Whisk in garlic and chili sauce (or cayenne pepper) to taste. Season with salt. If aioli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water; it should be creamy, but much looser in consistency than store-bought mayonnaise.
