aioli
Pungent creamy sauce
Aioli is a Mediterranean sauce made by emulsifying garlic with olive oil, traditionally pounded together in a mortar.
The name comes from Provençal words for garlic and oil.
In contemporary American usage, aioli often refers more loosely to any flavored mayonnaise, whether or not it contains garlic: chipotle aioli, lemon aioli.
Purists distinguish between true aioli, which contains no egg, and garlic mayonnaise, which does.
