Aioli is a delectable Mediterranean sauce made primarily with garlic and olive oil, but this version uses mayonnaise as a base for a quicker and equally delicious preparation. It's perfect for enhancing sandwiches, dipping veggies, or even spreading on grilled meats.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the garlic cloves. For best results, use fresh garlic.
- Mince the garlic finely. You can use a garlic press, microplane, or just chop it thoroughly with a knife to get a fine consistency.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the minced garlic.
- Pour in the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. The olive oil helps to mellow the sharpness of the raw garlic.
- Mix the garlic and olive oil together, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute or two.
- Carefully measure out 1 cup of mayonnaise and add it to the bowl with the garlic-olive oil mixture.
- Use a spoon or a whisk to mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
- For a really smooth and cohesive aioli, you can use a hand blender or food processor to blend the mixture. This will also help to further incorporate the garlic flavor into the mayonnaise.
- Taste the aioli. If desired, you can add a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, or some black pepper to enhance the flavor to your liking.
- Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or an airtight container.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and blend together.
Tips:
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preferences.
- Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
- Store your aioli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a smoother texture, you can use a food processor or blender to mix the ingredients.
