Eichardt’s is my ‘go to’ cozy, decadent make you feel all lovely in your tummy kind of place. Food there (tapas) is so delicious I always over order (and manage to eat), cocktails are plentiful and made well (and I’ve tried a few on the list) and the fire is always on when the wind is a howling outside.<\/p>\n

I was delighted when the head chef there gave me a recipe for you all to try. Sauces to me have usually been in a bottle with the words ‘H’ and ‘P’ written on the outside so when I got sent Aioli (which I shamefully hadn’t had til I moved here) I was totally chuffed and had to give it to you all straight away. Chips are needed. And lots of them.<\/p>\n

Aioli<\/span><\/strong>
\nAioli, which is simply mayonnaise with garlic (garlic improves almost anything) is surprisingly easy to make yourself. Once you\u2019ve tasted the real deal, you will realise what a pale imitation standard supermarket mayonnaise is, and will be forced to keep on making it yourself. Sorry about that. Still, I bet you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n

Makes enough to fill a 1-litre jar:
\n4 egg yolks
\n1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
\n2 cloves garlic, sliced
\n\u00bd teaspoon salt
\nJuice of 2 lemons
\n500ml canola\/vegetable\/sunflower oil
\n200ml olive oil
\nUp to 200ml water<\/p>\n

Put all the ingredients except oil and water into a food processor. Start it up and, while its running, add the canola (or other light flavourless oil) in a thin stream. The mix should start to thicken (emulsify) and turn pale. Once all the canola is in, do the same with the olive oil. As the aioli gets too thick to mix properly, thin it out with a splash of water, then continue adding oil. I like the final consistency to be very thick, but it\u2019s up to your personal taste.<\/p>\n

Your aioli will keep in the fridge quite happily for a month thanks to the acid in the lemons and the longevity of oil. You can make all sorts of flavoured aiolis too, simply by adding the extra ingredients at the beginning with the yolks. Here are some examples to get you started:<\/p>\n

Herb<\/strong>
\nChopped herbs by the cup: 1 parsley, \u00bd tarragon, \u00bd chives<\/p>\n

Sundried tomato<\/strong>
\n\u00bd cup sundried tomatoes, drained of oil<\/p>\n

Saffron<\/strong>
\nGood pinch saffron soaked in 1 tbsp hot water for 5 minutes<\/p>\n

Chipotle<\/strong>
\n2 tbsp chipotle peppers<\/p>\n

Lemon<\/strong>
\nExtra juice of 2 lemons<\/p>\n

Pro tip \u2013 the dreaded split aioli: <\/strong>Sometimes, due to adding oil too fast or too much, or warm ingredients, or an unfavourable moon, your aioli will split while you make it. You will know when this happens, as the mix will go instantly from thick and glossy to the consistency of water. Fear not! It can be saved:
\nPour the split aioli into a jug, scraping the food processor bowl clean. Put one fresh yolk and a squeeze of lemon juice in the bowl, start the motor and slowly drizzle in a little canola\/light oil. Once you see it\u2019s starting to emulsify you can start slowly pouring in the split mix. Like magic, it will come together!<\/p>\n
