Aioli

3 tb Milk
4 Clove garlic, medium, minced
2 Egg yolk, large
2 tb Lemon juice
1/2 c Olive oil
Salt
Pepper, white

Remove crust from bread- preferrably Italian white bread. In a small bowl, combine bread and milk. Let soak 5 minutes. Squeeze the bread with your hands to get rid of any excess liquid. Place bread, garlic, egg yolks, and lemon juice in blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process 10 seconds, or until completely smooth. With machine running, slowly drizzle in oil until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

VARIATION: Rouille Add 1 peeled, seeded, roasted red pepper to Aioli recipe. Combine in blender or food processor with bread, garlic, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Follow the rest of the Aioli recipe.

VARIATION: Skordalia Add 1/2 cup finely ground blanched almonds and 2 tbsp chopped parsley to one Aioli recipe.
