lemon juice, to taste
Pacific West Tempura Squid Rings
salt and freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

For the aioli

Combine the egg yolk, mustard and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Very slowly add the oil, while whisking continuously. At first this must be done drop by drop but once you’ve added a quarter of the oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. Keep whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture has emulsified. Stir in the garlic and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen the aioli, if desired. Set aside.
