Ingredients:
1 large egg yolk
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
½ kosher salt
2 t water
¼ cup grape seed oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
pinch of cayenne pepper
fresh lemon juice
freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Using the widest part of your chef’s knife, smash garlic clove with ¼ t of the salt, making a grainy paste.
Place egg yolk, garlic salt paste, and water in a small bowl. Whisk, enthusiastically, until ingredients are incorporated.
Whisking, somewhat vigorously, add grape seed oil, one teaspoon at a time, until the sauce is emulsified and begins to thicken.
Whisking, constantly, drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.
Stir in cayenne and add lemon juice, pepper and additional salt to taste
