684/1038 - Quince alioli

It has been sixteen months since my last post and it is so good to be back! 

This brilliant alioli was a match made in heaven for everything on this plate. The sweetness of the quince paste was perfectly tempered by the acidity of the lemon and the only problem reported by my family was that I did not make enough. Due to the slightly hard consistency of my quince paste, I was forced to make one small change to the recipe. Try as I might, I could not get the paste and the oil to come together but, with the addition of an egg yolk, the magic finally happened. This brilliant concoction is highly recommended for any savoury dish that requires a flavour boost. 

Whilst it feels incredible to have returned to this challenge, my posts will not be as regular as they used to be. My health has improved dramatically over the past six months but there is still a battle ahead. Also, due to necessary dietary restrictions, my family will test the majority of the recipes on my behalf - a role they have wholeheartedly agreed to undertake. 

The journey (finally) continues!
