Must have: Aioli Recipe

Aioli is a necessity at my parents house, therefore it's now a necessity at my flat. This is the most amazing aioli recipe which mum has - not sure where it originally came from but lets just call it 'Cath's Aioli.' We have it on and with everything. Roast lamb, roast veges, burgers, sandwiches, stirfry - you name it. Definitely something I could honestly not live without. 

Cath's Aioli

2 Eggs

3 tbsp (tablespoon) white or wine vinegar

1 tsp (teaspoon) salt

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp mixed mustard

1 large clove garlic (crushed)

2-3 tbsp chopped parsley 

Put above ingredients into food processor/magic bullet and whiz until finely chopped. 

Then add 1 3/4 cups oil in a slow stream until mixture is thick. 

Add 2 tbspns lemon juice

1/2 cup sour cream

Blend! Serve chilled with anything and everything. 

Helpful Hints: Only use sunflower/canola oil, not olive oil. 

You can use pesto instead of parsley, and can add other herbs such as dill or chives. 

The oil is what makes the aioli thick, so don't add as much if you would rather it a bit 'runny.'

I'll admit...

I'm one of those annoying people who take photos of my food. Everything that's yummy. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert.. Just pure yumminess. I know this frustrates people but we all do it, we want others to know what we're eating. Why? Who knows. Weird. But here's a few of my food photos which have been uploaded to Instagram. 

Lunch yesterday with mum. Potato, bacon and poached egg salald at Cafe Fresca.

I craved these all day last Wednesday, went out, spent $11.50 on six large donuts (for me and a friend) then ate one and felt sick. Over rated. 

Thai Village restaurant, sizzling beef and chicken & cashews!

Last nights baking in the flat, chocolate crunch.

And lastly, an amazing dessert at The Woodbox restaurant. Kind of like a chocolate brownie with sauce oozing out the middle -delisimo!
