madbaker"Friendly" because you'll all smell like garlic afterwards.
A Dish (Garlic sauce)
Crush garlic with salt, peel the bulbs well, and mix with six eggs without the egg-whites. Add vinegar and a small amount of water, not too sour, and bring it to a boil so that it remains thick. You can use that for grilled chickens, morels, or mushrooms, or anything you want. (Daz buch von guter spise, 1350s)
First pass:
1.25 ounces peeled garlic (about 8-10 medium cloves)
1/8 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp water
Crush garlic and mix into egg yolks with salt. Stir in vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking gently. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until yolk mixture is cooked.
What worked: This certainly was garlicky. Also vinegary. Beautiful golden color. Excellent combination with morels.
What didn't: The wife now has my (mostly former) cold, so the effect of the over-garlicky, over-vinegary factors was muted. Otherwise, they'd be way too strong. Also, this was too thick (it didn't pour so much as glopped) and the overall quantity was too small.
Will I make it again? Yes. I want to get it right; also, this would be good with grilled chicken as it suggests. Plus it'd be an easy sauce for an event.
Revised version for next attempt:
1.5 ounces peeled garlic
1/4 tsp salt
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
Edited to add: Oops. Forgot the original recipe, but that's there now.
