Anchovy aioli

10 minutes. Makes a scant ¾ cup

2 to 3 cloves garlic

3 to 5 anchovy fillets, to taste, cleaned if salt-packed, smashed to a paste using the back of a knife

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste

1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise

Kosher salt

Using a rasp or fine grater, grate the garlic directly into a medium bowl. Add the anchovy paste, olive oil and lemon juice, and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the mayonnaise until all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste, adding kosher salt and additional lemon juice if needed.
