Prawn Skewers With Aïoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tsp mustard
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 medium egg yolk
    100 ml olive oil + 10 tbsp
    4 tbsp white wine vinegar
    1 tsp honey
    12 slices baguette
    1 bunch basil, chopped
    250 g button mushrooms
    12 large prawns, de-shelled
    2 medium red onions
    100 g lettuce leaves
Preparation
    To make the aioli, mix 2 tsp mustard, 2 garlic cloves and the egg yolk in a food processor. Slowly add 1/2 cup of olive oil, drop by drop, while mixing. Season with salt and pepper then set aside.
    For the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegar, 1 tsp mustard, and honey. Beat in 4 tbsp oil, bit by bit and season with salt and pepper. Add in the finely chopped onion.
    Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large pan and fry the bread on both sides, with the remaining garlic, for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and half of the chopped basil. Lightly dress the lettuce leaves with the vinaigrette, then set aside.
    Heat 2 more tbsp oil in the pan, pierce the mushrooms, prawns and onions with skewers and fry on both sides for about 5 minutes. Serve the skewers on a bed of salad, drizzled with the vinaigrette and the bread and aioli on the side. Garnish with remaining basil.
