Garlic Mayo (Ali Oli) is a popular condiment in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine. It is traditionally made with a mortar and pestle, but this blender method produces a smoother and more consistent mayo. The combination of garlic, egg, and oil creates a rich and flavorful sauce that can be paired with many different dishes. The red wine vinegar adds a tangy note that balances the richness of the mayo.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor or blender, add the egg, garlic, and salt.
2.	Blend the ingredients on high speed until well combined.
3.	Very slowly add the red wine vinegar while continuing to blend the mixture.
4.	Gradually add the sunflower oil in a slow stream, with the blender still running, until the mixture forms a thick and creamy mayo.
5.	Taste the garlic mayo and adjust the seasoning as needed.
