Hard boil an egg and then take the yolk.
Put the minced garlic cloves, with the germ removed, in a mortar and crush them with salt.
Place everything in a blender, adding fresh egg yolks: blend and add the oil in a thin stream until a thick cream forms. At this point, stop the blender and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the crumbled hard yolk; blend again for a few seconds, then salt, pepper, and adjust the salt to taste (or add more lemon juice if you like).
Your aioli sauce is ready: place it in a bowl or a glass jar and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
