To make the green herb aioli, start with a good handful of whatever herbs you have on hand in the garden.
From Mum's garden I found chives, marjoram, parsley and mint.
Whizz the herbs in the food processor for a couple of minutes to break them up a little before adding 2 whole eggs, the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon of salt.
Slowly add a neutral flavoured oil, in this case grape seed. You will need to add about 1 1/2 cups in total. It will take a few minutes before the mixture starts to thicken. Be patient; if the oil is added too quickly the mixture will split.
I boiled a few eggs, topped them with some finely chopped red onion, and then spooned over the green herb aioli.
Next I sliced some tomatoes and topped then with a green herb vinaigrette. The recipe can be found in my previous blog 'Pork and Green Sauce.'
