- 1 litre olive oil
- 10 garlic cloves
- 3 egg yolks
- salt, pepper
- open one bulb, take the good cloves, and leave all the dried or blemishes away
- peel them, cut them in two and remove the central germ
- roughly crush them in a mortar
- use the pestel to finely crush them
- incorporate a bit of salt and grind until you obtain a smooth paste
- without stopping the pestle, start adding the egg yolks and oil
- keep the movement regular and steady, or it will not give a good emulsion
- you may add a sip of lemon juice and hot water if you want
- keeping the move, slowly add sips of oil, being careful the emulsion does not collapse
- when the mix starts becoming thicker and peeling off the mortar's edges, you can start adding oil in greater quantities
- the finished product should be shiny, ripe with oil, and solid enough that the pestle holds straight in it without moving
