Basil aioli:
2 large egg yolks (preferably organic)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 anchovy fillets, minced (1 1/3 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • For basil aioli:
  • Whisk egg yolks, basil, garlic, anchovies, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil a few drops at a time, then gradually whisk in remaining oil in thin stream. Whisk in 1 tablespoon warm water, lemon juice, and hot pepper sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
