Artichoke dip

Artichokes and aïoli, what a mediterranean mix! You feel like hanging out and munch on something? What about some veggies and a mayo type of dip? here it is, the artichoke dip!!!!

What you need- for 2 servings: 2 artichokes, for the aïoli: an egg yolk, olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, one spoon of Dijon mustard, a drop of vinegar or lemon juice, salt'n peppa and good arm muscles!

Cook the artichokes in boiling water for about 30mn. When ready, the leaves should easily detach and their bottom parts should be tender enough to be eaten.

Aïe, aïe, aïe, Aïoli!!!!! Not that easy to fix...Put the cold egg yolk in a bowl, had some mustard, some crushed garlic, salt and pepper and slowly add the oil and stir vigorously- and keep on doing so until this mediterranean mayo becomes thicker. if it does not get any firmer, stop adding the oil and put it in the fridge for 10 mn. Then remove some oil and start stirring again and slowly adding some oil.

You can eat the artichokes warm or cold. Enjoy!
