Garlic Dip

1. 1

   Peel the garlic and chop it in small pieces before putting it in a mortar. Add the salt and pound the garlic with a pestle until you have smooth paste.

2. 2

   Whisk the egg in a mixing bow and add the garlic paste. Stir in the lemon juice, then slowly whisk in the olive oil to achieve a creamy aioli; if the dip is not thick enough, add more olive oil, and, if you find the taste too strong, add a table spoon (or more) strained yogurt.

3. 3

   It would be easier to prepare this dip in the blender or food processor, but you will need a larger quantity of garlic for the size of the blender's bowl; double or triple the quantities but keep to 1 egg yolk (if you are using it).
