aioli is simple to make, just like mayo. you need a food processor though. is that weird? i don't think so since aioli is nothing but flavored mayo with garlic added.
Traditionally aioli is made with olive oil, eggs, garlic and a bit of dijon mustard with lemon juice as an imulsifying agent. May doesn't use the garlic or dijon.
And you don't need a food processor or blender to make it. You can turn the garlic into paste by dicing finely and working it with the flat face of the knife with some salt to help break it down. then you just whip the ingredients in a bowl while slowly adding the oil to imulsify it.
