Ingredients:
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup canola oil
Preparation:
Cut the cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and remove the germ. Bring three halves of the garlic to a boil in cold water, then discard the water and repeat two more times, cooking the garlic until tender on the third time. Transfer the cooked garlic into a blender or food processor and add the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, water, salt and remaining raw garlic clove half. Purée until well combined. While the machine is still running, add the olive oil and then canola oil in slow steady streams.
The sauce should emulsify, with a thick, pale consistency similar to mayonnaise. Taste for seasoning and then transfer into a bowl and serve with your preferred accompaniments.
