Ingredients

Peel:

2 or 3 small garlic cloves

Separate into a mixing bowl:

1 egg yolk

1/2 teaspoon water

Preparation

Mix well with a whisk. Into a cup with a pour spout, measure about: 1 cup olive oil

Slowly dribble the oil into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. As the egg yolk absorbs the oil, the sauce will thicken, lighten in color, and become opaque. This will happen rather quickly. Then you can add the oil a little faster, whisking all the while.

If the sauce is thicker than you like, thin it with a few drops of water. Taste and add more salt and garlic, as desired.
