AÏOLI
Aïoli is really a mayonnaise
made with garlic, and sometimes
breadcrumbs are added.
It is served usually with salt cod,
or with boiled beef, accompanied
by boiled carrots, potatoes boiled
in their skins, artichokes, French
beans, hard-boiled eggs, and
sometimes with snails which have
been cooked in water with onions
and fennel, or with baby octopus
plainly boiled, with pimentos; in
fact, with any variety of
vegetables, but always cooked à
l’eau. It is one of the most famous
and best of all Provençal dishes.
