⏰ Service 32 — Le Grand Aioli (Provence-Style)
← Block 25–26: French Classics Overview
Skill: Making aioli from scratch (emulsified garlic mayo); Provençal composed platter
Goal: Grand aioli is one of Provence's great communal dishes: a massive creamy garlic sauce served alongside a platter of vegetables (blanched and raw), salt cod, and hard-boiled eggs. Everything on the table, aioli in the center.
Reference: Aioli technique = mayonnaise technique (from Blocks 9–10) with garlic and olive oil. The principle you already know — the application is new.
Full Meal: - Le Grand Aioli: scratch-made garlic aioli + blanched vegetables + hard-boiled eggs + bread + whatever protein you choose - White wine from Provence if possible
🎥 Compare Notes: Old-Fashioned Handmade Aioli is Perfect for Spring Asparagus — Watch the mortar and pestle technique and compare it to your blender version — the texture and flavor absorption are genuinely different.
