Sauce

Balsamic-dark aioli

Black garlic replaces both the raw garlic and the acidity here, so the sauce comes out rounder and darker than a classic aioli — closer to something you would spoon than spread.

Serves 4 · 10 minutes

Method

  1. 01

    Whisk the yolks with the paste and a pinch of salt until glossy.

  2. 02

    Add the oil drop by drop at first, then in a thin stream, whisking constantly.

  3. 03

    When it is thick, loosen with the lemon juice and a teaspoon of cold water.

  4. 04

    Taste for salt. It should be sweet first, savoury second.

For a lighter version, fold two spoons of it through plain yoghurt and serve with roast carrots.
