- Comments: Classic Catalan all-i-oli, used on fish, meat, vegetables, and salads, is made without egg yolks. This requires the use of many raw garlic cloves-too many for all but true garlic enthusiasts. If desired garlic, this recipe is for you.
- All-i-oli is easy to make providing certain rules are observed, rules equally applicable to mayonnaise. The ingredients, particularly the extra virgin olive oil, must be at room temperature. The oil must be be added very gradually and the sauce must be stirred in the same direction all the while. All-i-oli will keep several days under refrigeration.
